US government officials were specifically targeting the company’s “Screamin’ Eagle” after-market engine tuners, Bloomberg reported.
Milwaukee-based Harley Davidson sold 339,000 of those devices from 2008 to 2015, the US government alleged in its suit filed in Washington on Thursday.
Washington asked for a court injunction barring Harley Davidson from continuing with its activities plus penalties.
