Harley-Davidson Recalls 82,100 Motorcycles for Tire-Pressure Related Crash Risk

  • Harley-Davidson recalled about 82,100 Softail motorcycles manufactured between 2018 and 2024 due to a faulty rear shock adjuster that can damage the rear tire and cause pressure loss.
  • The recall is being issued again because a component related to the rear shock absorber adjuster can fail and puncture the rear tire, potentially leading to rapid loss of tire pressure and dangerous riding conditions.
  • Owners began receiving notification letters on June 16, and those previously repaired under recall 23V591 must have the new remedy completed at authorized dealerships.
  • Harley-Davidson stated it has received no reports of crashes or injuries from this issue, while NHTSA warned that sudden tire pressure loss increases crash risk, urging owners to check their motorcycles using the VIN.
  • Authorized Harley-Davidson service centers will provide a complimentary replacement bracket to address the issue, reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to safety and accident prevention for Softail motorcycle owners.

What exactly is the problem? The reason for the callback is a possibly faulty mounting bracket on the rear shock absorber, more precisely the adjustment mechanism of the pretension. This bracket could break and then rub against the rear tire. In the worst case, this could lead to a sudden air loss of the rear tire – a scenario that can be particularly dangerous during the ride.
