The 2020 Harley-Davidson FLHC has 2 recalls, both involving the rear shock absorber, where a broken fastener or mounting tab can allow the shock adjuster to contact and damage the rear tire, causing a sudden loss of tire pressure and raising the risk of a crash.
Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, and the remedy addresses the same underlying failure through updated hardware securing the rear shock absorber assembly.
