On December 8, 2023, Harley-Davidson issued a voluntary safety recall for all 2023 CVO Street Glide (FLHXSE) motorcycles due to the stock calibration present from the factory on their engine control modules. CVO Street Glides built between May 10, 2023 and October 6, 2023 "may respond more than expected to road and environmental inputs (examples: road irregularity, wind gust) when operated at speeds exceeding 100 mph."
Depending on the circumstances surrounding such a response, this could potentially result in a crash. Harley's description of the cause reads," On certain Model Year 2023 Street Glide CVO (FLHXSE) motorcycles, the overall combination of front end mass, stiffness, and inertia does not enable the desired vehicle performance at speeds greater than 100 mph."
