Harley-Davidson Australia issues recall for 2017-2023 Softails

Harley Davidson Australia is recalling thousands of its motorcycles, saying in a recall notice on Monday that due to a manufacturing issue, the rear shock absorber adjuster mounting bolt may break. As a result, the shock absorber adjuster could loosen and contact the rear tire causing a loss of air pressure. A sudden loss of tire air pressure whilst riding may result in loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to rider and/or passenger and other road users, the company said. The recall impacts 3,676 model year 2018-2023 Softail vehicles.
