What's wrong?
The VIN compliance label on these 2018-2019 Harley-Davidson Fxbb and Fxlr motorcycles tells an owner or service technician the required tire information for the motorcycle. That label is supposed to match the front gross axle weight rating, which is the load rating for the front axle. The tire pressure value on the label helps connect the tire setup to that rated load.
On affected motorcycles, the printed front tire inflation pressure on the VIN label is incorrect for the stated front gross axle weight rating. The problem is not a worn tire or a broken wheel part. It is a labeling problem, so Harley-Davidson corrects it with a partial overlay label and an Owner's Manual insert that show the revised front tire inflation values.
There is no warning sign before failure. The motorcycle will not make a new sound or show a special symptom just because the label information is wrong.

What's the safety risk?
Wrong tire pressure information can lead an owner to load the front tire beyond its rating, which increases the risk of a crash. Use the corrected label and owner's manual insert when checking tire pressure and loading the motorcycle. Repair is free at any franchised Harley-Davidson dealer.
