Harley-Davidson initiated a recall affecting more than 82,000 Softail motorcycles from the 2018-2024 model years due to a potential sudden loss of rear tire pressure. The recall was prompted by reports indicating that the rear tire may experience pressure loss, posing a safety concern for riders. The affected models include various Softail variants, with the issue traced to a manufacturing defect in the tire assembly process. Harley-Davidson has identified approximately 82,500 units across the U.S. that require inspection and potential repair. The company is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to address the matter, notifying owners to contact authorized dealerships for free inspections and replacements if necessary. Owners will receive notification letters starting in July 2025, with the process expected to be completed by the end of the year. The recall does not affect other Harley-Davidson model lines, and the company has reported no accidents or injuries directly linked to this issue as of the announcement. Dealerships are prepared to handle the volume, with parts availability ensured to minimize delays. This action reflects Harley-Davidson’s commitment to rider safety and compliance with regulatory standards, with updates to be provided as the recall progresses.
