Harley DavidsonShock adjuster, bolt safety recall.

This is the bolt that has actually been recalled. Quick video on what it involves. It is not the lower shotgun, it is is a 1/4 20 bolt that's been snapping off possibly because a bad batch of bolts Harley Davidson used #heritagesoftail #harleydavidson

Your idea to change to ARP bolt is spot on.

I will change it to the Arp bolt as soon as the recall is done. Thanks for watching this video I appreciate you

Thanks for the video. The bolt you shown is correct and from what i understand the breakage is caused by people using aftermarket seats. Apparantly, aftermarket seats didn't do a cut out to accomodate the bolt.. Also, the new bolt is going up in size from 1/4" to 5/16" ARP button head torx bolt. This is what im understanding about the recall.

I heard some aftermarket seats are resting on the adjuster and breaking the bolt

[@GAMALA194]

That's possible I have the stock seat on the bike thanks for watching this video I appreciate you

Maybe add a nylon lock nut to new screw ?

[@GAMALA194]

The bolt might still break I belive its just a cheap or poor material used that's why they are breaking. thanks for watching this video I appreciate you

I don't understand. I took my 2021 Heritage iin for the recall. I do have an aftermarket "Ultimate" seat. They told me the bolt only needs replacing if a new shock was installed for the purpose of raising or lowering the seat height. Is there some validity to this, or should I take it in again and demand an upgraded bolt?

[@GAMALA194]

Thats a new one there..... if you're bike calls for the recall then they should not question any thing. You should have received a notice from HD ALLREADY

[@Digger456437]

I was responding to a written notice I had received from Harley. The more I think about it, the more I think I will return in the Spring and demand the upgraded bolt.
