A fastener securing the rear shock absorber may break and allow the rear shock absorber adjuster to damage the rear tire, causing a loss of tire pressure.

Dealers will replace the shock absorber fastener for free for owners of these models. Harley is sending out notification letters by September 5. Harley-Davidson’s number for this recall is 0181.
