The 2021 Harley-Davidson RH1250S has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fracture risk in the upper triple clamp, the structural piece that connects the front forks to the handlebars, which can cause a sudden loss of steering control.
The remaining recall affects the instrument cluster: in below-freezing temperatures, the display may fail to show the speedometer and neutral indicator at startup, leaving the rider without speed information or confirmation of gear state.
