On July 30, 2024, Japan's Fair Trade Commission reportedly raided the offices of Harley-Davidson Japan, a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Incorporated. The reason: Allegations of excessive sales quotas on contract dealerships.
According to multiple Japanese news reports, sources allege that H-D Japan began setting unrealistically high sales quotas around 2020-2021. Dealerships under contract were then allegedly threatened with not having their contracts renewed if they did not meet these high sales quotas.
