HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER S Recalls

The Harley-Davidson Sportster S has 2 recalls, both affecting 2021 model year motorcycles, centered on an upper triple clamp that can fracture and cause the rider to lose steering control. The upper triple clamp is the metal yoke that connects the front forks to the handlebars, and a fracture there means the rider can lose the ability to steer the front wheel. An initial round of dealer repairs did not fully resolve the issue for all affected motorcycles, so a second inspection and possible repair is required to confirm the fix was completed correctly.
