Harley-Davidson Motor Company is recalling 12,624 model year 2019-2020 FLHTCUTG, and FLRT Trike motorcycles.

The Trike Traction Control System software may respond incorrectly to a faulty rear wheel speed signal by activating one of the rear brakes.

Unintended activation of one rear brake could lead to an unexpected change in vehicle direction which may increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Harley-Davidson has notified owners, and dealers will update the traction control system software free of charge.

The recall began December 2, 2019.

Owners may contact Harley-Davidson customer service at (800) 258-2464. Harley-Davidson's number for this recall is 0175.
