👉 Access The Harley Longevity Blueprint here: https://ironhorses.lovable.app/ On March 24, 2026, Harley-Davidson confirmed worldwide layoffs across its 5,000-employee global workforce. The company reported a $29 million operating loss for 2025, a 12 percent decline in global motorcycle sales, and a 13 percent decline in North America. Profits dropped 26 percent year over year. Trump administration tariffs cost the company $67 million in 2025 and are projected at $75 million to $105 million in 2026. New CEO Artie Starrs publicly described the situation as "early stages of a reset." On May 8, 2026, NHTSA published a recall covering 88,039 Harley motorcycles for an airbox defect that can eject oil from the fill spout under pressure. Approximately 12 Harley dealerships closed in 2025 alone.
