Harley Davidson Recalls over 82,000 Motorcycles over Issues with Loss of Tire Pressure
- On June 12, 2025, NHTSA announced a recall of 82,117 Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycles from 2018 to 2024 over a defective rear shock pre-load adjuster tab.
- Harley-Davidson, based in Milwaukee, identified in September 2024 that a mounting tab on certain Softail models may fail, allowing the rear shock adjuster to come into contact with the rear tire, potentially leading to sudden tire pressure loss.
- The defect could create a groove in the tire, increasing crash risk without any reported injuries or deaths, and some vehicles previously repaired require this new fix.
- Dealers will install a free new bracket to prevent adjuster-tire contact, and Harley-Davidson will mail notification letters to owners starting June 16, with recall number 0188.
- This recall aims to mitigate crash risk by addressing the adjuster tab failure, signaling ongoing monitoring and remedy updates for affected Softail motorcycles.
