Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Harley-Davidson is recalling 862 of its 2022 RH975 Nightster motorcycles because the handlebars may not have been welded correctly during manufacturing. If the weld fails, the handlebar can break during use, which can lead to a sudden loss of steering control and an increased risk of a crash. To address this safety issue, authorized Harley-Davidson dealers will replace the handlebars on all affected motorcycles at no cost to owners.

Risk

The handlebar can break due to an improper weld, causing the rider to lose control of the motorcycle's steering, which significantly increases the danger of a collision or fall.
