The 2021 Harley-Davidson XL1200NS has 2 recalls, the more serious being a headlight bulb that can fail and cut out both high and low beams, leaving the rider without any forward lighting.
The second recall is a compliance issue: brake fluid warning labels on the reservoir caps may detach, which can lead to improper brake fluid maintenance and reduced braking performance over time.
