Overview

• The recall covers 82,117 Softail motorcycles from seven model variants built between 2018 and 2024
• The mounting tab on the rear shock pre-load adjuster can fracture under normal use and gouge the rear tire, risking sudden pressure loss
• Harley-Davidson first identified the tab failures in September 2024 and has logged 11 related warranty claims
• Company figures indicate just 0.1% of the affected bikes may actually have the defect, and no crashes or injuries have been reported
• Some Softail models previously repaired under a separate recall will still require the new bracket upgrade to address this specific fault
