The 2014 Harley-Davidson FXSBSE has 2 recalls, both involving the clutch assembly, where a faulty clutch release plate can prevent the clutch from fully disengaging, causing the motorcycle to creep forward when the rider intends to be stopped.
When the clutch fails to release properly, the bike can move forward unexpectedly at a stop, raising the risk of a crash. Both recalls address the same underlying clutch problem, and prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected models.
