Harley-Davidson has learned that the seat base on certain 2021 Pan America motorcycles built between August 08, 2020 and November 16, 2021 may lose threaded insert retention at one or more of the fastening locations.
Field data suggests this condition is most likely to develop as a result of the operator applying an upward load on the hand-hold portion of the seat base while deploying the center stand. If the hand-hold portion of the seat base fractures while a passenger is using the hand-hold feature, while the vehicle is in motion, may increase the risk of an injury.
If your bike is listed below, kindly contact your nearest Harley-Davidson Dealership as soon as possible.
