Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the valve which was designed to allow air to replace fuel in the tank during operation could malfunction thereby starving the engine for fuel.

Why it matters: This situation could cause the vehicle to shut down without warning, which could lead to a crash, causing the possibility of death or injury.

The fix: Buell will replace the vent valve. The recall began on August 27, 2004. Owners should contact buell at 414-343-8400.
