Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 21,643 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,948 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Harley-Davidson vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 8 times before this, most recently in April 2026 as 26V270000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V270000 (engine and engine cooling).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Harley-Davidson Motor Company with NHTSA on November 3, 2026 as campaign 26V730000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
