(WHTM) – The Harley-Davidson Motor Company announced it is recalling nearly 90,000 motorcycles.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Harley Davidson is recalling certain 2024-2026 FLTRX, FLHX, 2025-2026 FXBR, FLFB, 2025 FLHXU, 2026 FLTRXL, FLTRT, FLHXL, and FLHLT motorcycles built with an Airbox Baseplate [part number 29000373].

The recall was initiated because the airbox backplate breather port may be blocked, which allows pressure to build up inside the crankcase.

As a result, when the dipstick is removed while the crankcase is pressurized, oil may eject from the fill spout, increasing the risk of injury.

In total, this recall involves 88,039 motorcycles with an estimated 0.4 percent with the above defect.

The NHTSA says moving forward, dealers will inspect the breather port, and, if the port is blocked, they will repair the blockage free of charge.

Letters notifying riders of the safety risk are expected to be mailed on May 11.

If you have any questions, you can contact Harley-Davidson customer service by calling 1-800-258-2464.
