Harley-Davidson Motor Company: Rear Shock Absorbers Recalled for Potential Fastener Breakage

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Harley-Davidson is recalling 1,282 Profile Low Rear Suspension and Tall Rear Shock kits sold as accessories (part numbers 54000134 and 54000294). A fastener that secures the shock absorber can break, which may allow the shock absorber's adjuster to strike and damage the rear tire. This damage can cause the tire to lose pressure suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners should take their motorcycles to a Harley-Davidson dealer for a free replacement of the fastener.

Risk

If the fastener breaks, the shock absorber adjuster can contact the rear tire and cause a sudden loss of tire pressure. This loss of pressure can lead to a loss of vehicle control, potentially resulting in a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your motorcycle or purchase records to determine if you installed Profile Low Rear Suspension or Tall Rear Shock accessory kits with part numbers 54000134 or 54000294.
  2. If you have these parts installed, contact an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer to schedule a service appointment for a free replacement of the shock absorber fastener.
