Summary
The Harley-Davidson Softail Low Rider has 4 recalls spanning 2018 through 2025, with the most serious being a brake line defect on 2025 models where contact with the body control module can wear through the rear brake line, leak fluid, and extend stopping distances. A separate brake line issue affects 2022 models, where incorrect front brake line routing allows the line to contact the fuel tank, wear through, and cause a similar loss of braking force. Both brake line recalls carry the same risk of a crash due to reduced stopping ability. Going further back, 2019 models have a compliance label that may be missing load and tire data entirely, including gross weight ratings and correct tire pressure and rim size, meaning a rider following the label could overload the motorcycle or run incorrect tire pressure, raising the risk of a tire failure or handling loss. The 2018 model year has a related label issue where the front tire pressure is listed incorrectly at 30 psi when the Low Rider requires 32 psi, with the same potential for a tire failure or loss of control if the lower figure is used.
