Harley-Davidson recalls around 88,000 motorcycles over Airbox Baseplate issue, NHTSA says

Harley-Davidson is recalling 88,039 motorcycles in the U.S. because an airbox backplate breather port may be blocked, allowing pressure to build in the crankcase. The issue is a product quality and safety matter that could create repair costs and modest near-term headwinds for the company, but it is unlikely to have broad market impact.
