Yes the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650-EXT would be great for carrying your recumbent bike. It has extended wheel platforms to accommodate bikes with a longer wheelbase such as recumbent bikes. The Swagman XC is designed to fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches and can also be folded up while attached to the vehicle when it is not in use.

The Swagman XC-Extended Bike Carrier can accommodate bikes with a wheel base of up to 66 inches when using the silver wheel mounts. You will want to make sure not to exceed the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle and hitch when carrying the The Swagman XC-Extended Bike Carrier and your bike or bikes. The Swagman XC-Extended Bike Carrier has a maximum weight carrying capacity of 70 pounds.

I have linked instructions and a video review for the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier.
