Harley-Davidson has announced a significant recall affecting nearly 90,000 motorcycles due to a hazardous defect. This recall impacts models from 2024 to 2026, as indicated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Details of the Recall
The recall involves a total of 88,039 motorcycles. The affected models include:
- 2024–2026 FLTRX
- 2024–2026 FLHX
- 2025–2026 FXBR
- 2025–2026 FXFB
The defect is linked to a breather port that may become obstructed. This blockage can lead to increased pressure build-up within the crankcase. If owners remove the dipstick under such conditions, oil could be expelled from the fill spout, creating a risk of injury.
Repair Process
To address this issue, dealers will perform inspections on the breather ports and rectify any blockages without charge. Harley-Davidson plans to send out notification letters to all affected motorcycle owners by May 11.
Previous Recall
This recall follows a prior announcement from Harley-Davidson, which involved about 17,000 motorcycles recalled last month. The earlier issue pertained to potential brake failures in certain models produced between October 2024 and March 2026, including the FXLRS and FXLRST models.
