What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2021 Pan America RA1250S and RA1250 motorcycles. The seat base may not be fastened properly, which could cause the hand-hold portion of the base to fracture.

The risk

A seat base that fractures while a passenger is using the hand-hold feature can increase the risk of injury.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the seat base, free of charge. Owners are advised to not use the passenger hand-hold feature until the remedy is complete. Owner notification letters were mailed December 7, 2021. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0178.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
