Harley-Davidson is recalling 65,224 Softail motorcycles across several model lines from 2018 to 2023 because a fastener securing the rear shock absorber can break. If this fastener fails, the shock absorber adjuster may contact and damage the rear tire, leading to a sudden loss of tire pressure. This recall affects models including the FLDE, FLHC, FLHCS, FLHCS ANV, FXLRS, FXLRST, and FXRST. Owners can have this issue fixed by a dealer who will replace the fastener with a new one at no cost.
The broken fastener allows the rear shock absorber to shift and damage the rear tire, causing a sudden loss of air pressure. This can lead to a loss of vehicle control and significantly increase the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of the shock absorber fastener.
