Harley-Davidson Recalls 2013-2014 FXSB Motorcycles for Fuel Sensor Issue
Harley-Davidson is recalling 2013-2014 FXSB and FXSBSE motorcycles because suspension variances may cause the fuel level sensor to read inaccurately, potentially leading to unexpected stalling.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Harley-Davidson Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 FXSB and FXSBSE motorcycles manufactured between March 20, 2012, and March 10, 2014. The recall involves 9,102 vehicles.
The defect is caused by suspension variances that may affect the gas tank mounting angle, causing the fuel level sensor to read inaccurately. This gauge inaccuracy may cause the motorcycle to run out of fuel unexpectedly, possibly before the Low Fuel Warning lamp illuminates. The lack of fuel would cause the motorcycle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Harley-Davidson has notified owners, and dealers will update the software to recalibrate the fuel level sensor signal free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2014. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 1-800-258-2464 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
