Harley-Davidson Announces Recall of 82,000 Motorcycles

[Zammy]

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2018-2024 Softail motorcycles.

"The mounting tab on the rear shock pre-load adjuster may break, allowing the rear shock absorber adjuster to damage the rear tire, causing a loss of tire pressure," the safety administration said.

Here are the models in question.

FLDE: 2018-2019

FLHCS: 2018-2024

FLHC: 2018-2021

FXLRS: 2020-2024

FXLRST: 2022-2024

FLHCS ANV: 2018, 2023

FXRST: 2022

The NHTSA revealed that if the defect condition occurs and remains undetected, contact between the adjuster and tire may create a groove in the tire, which may eventually lead to a sudden loss of pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
