Harley-Davidson Motor Company recalled 31,346 model year 2019-2021 Sportster (XL) motorcycles, and 796 headlight assemblies due to potential safety risk.
These headlight assemblies may have been sold as replacement parts for the following motorcycles:
- Model year 2005-2019 Sportster
- Model year 2005-2017 Softail
- Model year 2005-2017 Dyna
- Model year 2005-2011 V-Rod
The glass bulb within the headlight assembly may fail, causing a loss of both high and low beams.
