2021-2026 Harley-Davidson RH1250S Recalled for Steering Fracture Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Harley-Davidson is recalling approximately 9,401 of its 2021-2026 RH1250S (Sportster S) motorcycles because a critical steering component called the upper triple clamp may fracture. This recall expands upon a previous safety action (NHTSA recall 25V590), and motorcycles that were already repaired under that previous recall must still be brought in for this new remedy. Owners can take their motorcycles to a Harley-Davidson dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the upper triple clamp to ensure the vehicle remains safe to operate.

Risk

The upper triple clamp is a vital part of the steering assembly; if it fractures while the motorcycle is in motion, the rider could lose control of the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Confirm your motorcycle is an affected 2021-2026 RH1250S (Sportster S) model, even if you previously had repairs performed under recall 25V590.
  2. Contact an authorized Harley-Davidson dealer to schedule a free inspection and replacement of the upper triple clamp.
  3. Contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464 regarding recall number 0191 if you have further questions.
  4. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
