Description
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.
