Harley Davidson Recalls 82K Motorcycles: Major Crash Risk!

Before you strap up, ready to head out on the road on your hog, you might want to check to see if it's one of the 82,100 Harley Davidson motorcycles that are being recalled due to a major crash risk.

FOX Business is reporting that the 82K Harley Davidson Softails that are part of the recall have a faulty part on the back tire that could lead to sudden tire deflation, which would lead to an almost immediate crash.

Before you panic, check to see if your Harley is one of the recalled models:

2018-2019 FLDE
2018-2021 FLHC
2018-2024 FLHCS
2018 and 2023 FLHCS ANV
2020-2024 FXLRS
2022-2024 FXLRST
2022 FXRST Softail motorcycles

If you still aren't sure if your motorcycle has the rear shock adjuster mounting tab that could fracture and cause rear tire deflation, Harley Davidson says they will be issuing a letter to all known owners of said bikes this month.

Recalls aren't a new thing for Harley Davidson — they have had at least five in the past 12 years, starting with a three year stretch of back-to-back-to-back recall years.

In 2013, the brand recalled 29,000 motorcycles due to an issue with the clutch system. Then in 2014, they had to recall thousands of motorcycles due to a faulty brake master cylinder, and in 2015 they recalled even more bikes due to a fuel pump issue.

This latest recall is a little more serious, as it can lead to a sudden loss of control of the motorcycle, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA].

If you do have one of the recalled motorcycles, you are urged to bring it to your local authorized Harley Davidson dealer where the issue will be resolved for you at no cost.

The Best Oliver Anthony Songs — His Entire Catalog, Ranked

A chronological listen of Oliver Anthony's songs shows a longterm effort to massage the themes present in "Rich Men of North Richmond." Fans will also find he's capable of so much more than being a blue collar folk hero.

The best Oliver Anthony songs are dynamic and complete. They also hold true to the buoyant optimism he speaks of during candid conversations on his YouTube page. Hope isn't always present, however — tracks released in late summer 2022 find the Virginia-raised singer on a dark path, singing of heartbreak and suicide. You can hear and see (if there's video) the strains of life across his face.

Taste of Country ranked all 19 songs Anthony has released so far. Most were cell phone recordings at first (later recorded for the Hymnal of a Troubled Man's Mind album), but we didn't hold a lack of production quality against him. Instead, each song is rated based on strength of message, originality and overall appeal.
