The 2025 Harley-Davidson RH1250S has 2 recalls, both addressing the same steering concern: the upper triple clamp, the component that connects the front forks to the handlebars, can fracture while riding and cause a sudden 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. This issue affects certain Sportster S motorcycles across multiple model years, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem.
