Harley-Davidson Recalls — Canada & USA

Harley-Davidson has 184 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1974 through 2026. Across those models, 356 recall campaigns are recorded, and the distribution skews heavily toward the upper tiers of the severity rating system: 55% of campaigns fall into the Critical tier and another 22% into the High tier, together accounting for 77% of all recorded recalls. Critical recalls typically involve conditions with direct potential for loss of vehicle control, fire, or serious injury, while High recalls cover risks that are significant but somewhat less immediate. Medium recalls account for 16% of the total, and Low recalls make up the remaining 8%, with no Informational-tier campaigns in the database at all.

The most-recalled models are closely clustered at the top. The FLHX and FLTRX each carry 9 recalls, while the Tour Glide (FLT) follows with 8. Given the relatively concentrated recall counts across the lineup, the activity is spread broadly across many of the 184 models rather than concentrated in a handful. Among recent Critical activity, a 2025 FXLRST recall addresses a loss of rear brakes, a condition that increases the risk of a crash. That campaign reflects the pattern seen throughout the database, where brake and control-system defects account for a substantial portion of the highest-severity campaigns in the lineup.
