On June 8, 2023, Harley-Davidson temporarily halted production on motorcycles at its York, Pennsylvania facility due to a shortage of unspecified parts. The shop is the workplace of nearly 1,000 union employees, and the current plan is to resume production on June 13, 2023.
If you’re thinking that this story sounds familiar, it’s probably because you remember a very similar story from May 2022, which involved a temporary production stoppage at both the York and Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin plants. That shortage involved a compliance issue with a brake hose that was supplied by a third-party supplier, which the company later revealed after the initial news of the stoppage had broken.
