NHTSA recall 04V607000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Certain motorcycles may have been produced with defective fuel shut-off valves. The functionality of the 'on' position and the 'reserve' position of the valve may have been reversed.
Why it matters: If the bike were operating with the valve in the 'on' position, the bike could run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. This could lead to the driver running out of gas without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel valve and replace it, if necessary. The recall began February 7, 2005. Owners should contact harley-davidson at 1-414-342-4080.
