NHTSA recall 14V185000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Harley-davidson motor company, Inc. (harley-davidson) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 fxsb and fxsbse motorcycles manufactured March 20, 2012, through March 10, 2014. Suspension variances may affect the gas tank mounting angle causing the fuel level sensor to read inaccurately.
Why it matters: The gauge inaccuracy may cause the motorcycle to run out of fuel unexpectedly, possibly even before the low fuel warning lamp illuminates. The lack of fuel would cause the motorcycle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Harley-davidson has notified owners, and dealers will update the software to recalibrate the fuel level sensor signal, free of charge. The recall began April 28, 2014.
