Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 2 complaints on file for the 1993 Harley-Davidson Flhtc — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE COMPONENTS WITHIN THE RIGHT-HAND SWITCH ASSEMBLY MAY GENERATE HEAT, WHICH IS CONDUCTED BY THE METAL THROTTLE GUIDE TUBES, SUFFICIENT TO MELT THE INTERLINER BETWEEN THE CABLE HOUSING AND THE THROTTLE CABLE, THUS RESTRICTING THE MOVEMENT OF THE THROTTLE CABLE.
Consequence
RESTRICTION OF THE THROTTLE CABLE MOVEMENT MAY CAUSE THETHROTTLE TO BIND, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy
REPAIR THE THROTTLE CABLE.
The record is thin — 2 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 1993 Harley-Davidson Flhtc. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
