Ford Motor Company and Harley-Davidson have announced separate vehicle recalls totaling nearly 270,000 units due to safety concerns, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ford is recalling more than 179,000 vehicles due to a front seat defect that could increase the risk of injury during a crash. The recall was announced by NHTSA, though specific details about which Ford models are affected were not immediately available.

Separately, Harley-Davidson announced a recall of nearly 90,000 motorcycles. The recall affects certain 2024-2026 FLTRX and FLHX models, 2025-2026 FXBR and FLFB models, 2025 FLHXU models, and 2026 FLTRXL, FLTRT, FLHXL, and FLHLT motorcycles.

The Harley-Davidson recall specifically targets motorcycles built with an Airbox Baseplate bearing part number 29000373. The company initiated the recall due to a defect with this component, though the complete details of the safety issue were not fully disclosed in the available information.

Both recalls were coordinated through NHTSA, which oversees vehicle safety standards and recall procedures in the United States. Vehicle owners affected by either recall should contact their respective manufacturers or dealers for repair instructions and scheduling.
