On January 31, 2022, Harley-Davidson issued a voluntary safety recall for certain 2021 Pan American 1250S, 2021 Pan America 1250, and 2021 Sportster S motorcycles due to an instrument cluster software error. Affected bikes may not display speedometers or neutral indicators if ambient temperatures are below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0 degrees Celsius). Should riders opt to continue operating their bikes despite lacking visibility of this important information, it could increase the risk of a crash.
A total of 3,917 units are believed to be affected, according to Harley’s records. The bikes in question were produced within certain specific build date ranges. Bikes produced after those date ranges have updated software installed in their instrument cluster modules, and should therefore not experience this problem.
