2019 Harley-Davidson Flde Complaints

The 2019 Harley-Davidson FLDE has 2 recalls, both involving the rear shock absorber adjuster contacting and damaging the rear tire, which can cause a sudden loss of tire pressure and loss of vehicle control.

In both cases, a fastener or mounting tab on the rear shock pre-load adjuster can break, allowing the adjuster to shift into contact with the rear tire. The resulting tire damage can cause rapid pressure loss, which on a motorcycle significantly raises the risk of losing control and crashing.
