Harley-davidson: Pressurized Crankcase May Eject Oil (engine And Engine Cooling)

Harley-Davidson Recall Summary Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2024-2026 motorcycle models with a specific airbox baseplate because a blocked breather port can cause pressure to build up in the engine's crankcase. When owners remove the dipstick to check oil, pressurized oil may spray out of the fill spout, posing an injury risk. Dealers will inspect and repair any blockages in the breather port at no cost.
