Recall 26V-270: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Apr 28, 2026 · 88,039 vehicles affected · Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Problem: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2024-2026 FLTRX, FLHX, 2025-2026 FXBR, FLFB, 2025 FLHXU, 2026 FLTRXL, FLTRT, FLHXL, and FLHLT motorcycles built with an Airbox Baseplate (part number 29000373). The airbox backplate breather port may be blocked, allowing pressure to build up inside the crankcase.

Risk: When the dipstick is removed while the crankcase is pressurized, oil may eject from the fill spout, increasing the risk of injury.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the breather port, and if the port is blocked, repair the blockage, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2026. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov April 16, 2025.

The crash happened in January. It happened a few weeks before the crash. Complete brake failure the bike wobbles and threw me off of 30 ft

Structure · reported Sep 22, 2025

This motorcycle is unstable at highway speeds. I believe the aerodynamics of the fairing and the front fender are to blame. It is not an issue when I ride the bike with a passenger, thus more total weight resolves the issue. I am 160 lbs. and when I ride solo and get around semis, or have a headwind, the front end begins to shake side to side at around 70mph, depending on the wind, oscillation begins and I need to pull over before the bike goes into a speed wobble (tank slapper).
