Harley-Davidson is recalling approximately 8,424 RH1250S (Sportster S) motorcycles because the upper triple clamp, a critical steering component, may fracture. If this part breaks while the motorcycle is being ridden, it can lead to a complete loss of steering control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. To address this safety issue, authorized Harley-Davidson dealers will replace the affected component with a new one at no cost to owners.
The upper triple clamp is essential for connecting the front forks to the frame; a fracture can cause the steering system to fail suddenly. This failure could result in the rider losing control of the motorcycle while in motion, posing a severe crash hazard.
Free replacement of the upper triple clamp by an authorized dealer.
Recall involves certain RH1250S models; owners should verify their VIN with a dealer.
