Harley-Davidson calls 15,000 low Rider ST due to brake problems

Harley-Davidson calls 15,000 low Rider ST due to brake problems

In a remarkable turn, Harley-Davidson has again announced a call back for its popular low-rider models within a few weeks. Just ten days after the call, in which the Street Bob and Low Rider were already affected, owners of the Low Rider ST are now faced with similar concerns. The current recall affects almost 16,000 units of the 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The reason for this recall? Defective brake hoses. These special hose lines could come into contact with the fuel tank due to unwanted bends during production. In plain language, this means that the hoses can wear and break over time, which leads to a loss of braking pressure. With a powerful cruiser who can reach up to 125 LB-FT torque, this is an extremely serious problem.

Details about the affected models and the recall

The recall campaign refers specifically to the low -Rider ST units that were produced between 2022 and 2024. From respected reports, it shows that 15,778 units are affected, including 739 models of type 2022 FXRST and 15,039 models of type 2022-2024 FXLRST. In the following the most important details about the affected series:

The problem first occurred in July 2024 when a field report on a "wear stain" informed the fuel tank, caused by contact with the brake hose. This led to further investigations, which finally resulted in a voluntary recall in October 2024. It is important to emphasize that no accidents or injuries have been reported due to this defect.

Harley-Davidson has announced that you will contact the customers concerned by October 24, 2024 to make an appointment for a service from an authorized dealer.
