The 2022 Harley-Davidson Sportster S has 2 recalls, both addressing the same critical issue: the upper triple clamp, the component that connects the front forks to the handlebars, can fracture while riding and cause sudden, complete loss of steering control.
When the upper triple clamp fails, the rider loses the ability to steer the front wheel, which can result in a crash with little or no warning. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why two separate recall campaigns exist for this defect.
