Weld failure
coming from a short trip (400 km) suddenly my EG begun to make a very loud noise, as if the mufler had fallen. Stoped and found a weld failure. Bike is only 5 months old, 6350 km and has never fallen.

Looks like it was never welded.
Not susprised, when I changed my pipes I found my all of my header nuts finger tight on the studs, with 2500 miles.......
Quality is NOT what it was, and likely never will be.
People are just not interested in their work today like they were in the past...

Guess QC missed another one - time to execute warranty repair. That's a tough break for you, but at least it will be corrected & hopefully you're back on the road soon.

Here in Brazil, HD never honored a warranty. This is not the first case here in Brazil and nobody had the part replaced. Never replaced/fixed a single defective tire, compensator or anything else. We have to look for a good lawyer (Counselor?) and go to the court. It's the only way to make HD honor warranty.
