Harley-Davidson has advised owners to avoid using the pillion seat and grab handle till the affected part has been replaced
The recall is being made since the seat base may not be fastened properly, which could cause the grab handle portion of the base to fracture, according to the filing with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). As part of its communication, Harley-Davidson said that it will be replacing the seat base on the affected motorcycles free of charge. Owners have been advised to not use the passenger grab handle until the replacement is complete. Harley dealers in the US began reaching out to owners from December 6, 2021, onwards.
The Pan America 1250 is a major departure from Harley's traditional roots and the bike is a full-sized adventure tourer competing against the Ducati Multistrada V4, BMW R 1250 GS, Triumph Tiger 1200 and more. It's based on the new Revolution Max platform and power comes from the 1,252 cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine tuned 150 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 127 Nm of peak torque at 6,750 rpm.
