Defect description

Harley-Davidson Motor Company (Harley-Davidson) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Trike and CVO Trike and 2020-2022 Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles. Please refer to Addendum A for specific vehicle model details. Due to a software error, the brake lights may illuminate without the rider applying the brakes.

Safety consequence

Unintended illumination of the brake lights may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will update the software on Touring and CVO Touring motorcycles. On Trike and CVO Trike motorcycles, a new pressure switch will also be installed. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 2, 2022. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0635.

ODI #11770111

Incident: October 6, 2026 · Filed: October 9, 2026

Steering; Unknown or Other

ODI #11732009

Crash 1 injury

Incident: April 12, 2026 · Filed: April 18, 2026

I own a 2020 Harley-Davidson Road Glide equipped with keyless ignition, where the motorcycle is started using the right handlebar run/stop switch. The ignition switch on the triple tree remains installed and is used only for the fork lock. The motorcycle can be started and operated while the ignition switch is in the fork lock position. The fork lock does not fully engage unless the handlebars are turned fully to the left. This creates a condition where the motorcycle can be ridden with the fork lock partially engaged. While riding, if the handlebars are turned fully left, the fork lock can suddenly engage, causing an immediate steering lock and loss of control. There is no interlock to prevent the motorcycle from starting or being operated with the fork lock engaged or partially engaged, and there is no warning to the rider that the fork lock is engaged. I experienced this condition personally, which resulted in a loss of control of the motorcycle. This presents a serious safety hazard.
