Some Harley-Davidson Sportster S Motorcycles May Have Their Top Triple Clamp Fail

Harley-Davidson Motor Company and the folks who buy from it have had a rough time lately due to some massive recalls. Earlier this year, there was a recall that affected 82,000 Softail models due to a problem with the rear shock pre-load adjuster, and in 2024, another 42,000 units, spread across multiple models, were recalled due to an issue with the wiring harness. That's 124,000 units in the past year and, unfortunately, that tally is about to rise again.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain RH1250S (Sportster S) motorcycles. The upper triple clamp may fracture. If the upper triple clamp fractures while someone is riding the motorcycle, it could lead to a crash and potentially death.
