Defect
On certain motorcycles, the mounting bracket for the rear shock absorber adjuster could break. If this happens, the shock absorber adjuster could move and damage the rear tire. This could lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and a tire failure. Note: Motorcycles that were repaired under recall 0181 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-473) also require this repair.
Safety Risk
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Harley-Davidson will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to replace the rear shock mounting bracket.
