Recalls themselves aren't rare — it happens to every manufacturer. But a possible crack in the Sportster S's triple clamp, being front-end related, isn't something the scene over here can just brush off either. Harley says they'll properly replace it with the fixed part. Here in the States too, how fast you respond to something like this is what really shapes brand trust. If your bike's affected, get it in soon.

I ride a Sportster S so this hits close to home, better get it checked soon.

If mine's covered, they'll fix it for free, right?

Harleys have always had that chronic oil-leak issue, but at least they're reporting it this time.

Hasn't Harley had a lot of recalls lately? Is their quality control okay?

2,569 units plus 1,574 units, two recalls across 8 models total — that's a decent chunk.

If the triple clamp fails while you're riding, that's no joke.

A cracked triple clamp on the Sportster S goes straight to a crash risk. Scary stuff.
