Details

What's wrong: These motorcycles may experience a cracking of the fuel filter shell leading to loss of fuel pressure. This loss of fuel pressure can cause diminished performance and, in some cases, may cause an engine stall or a no-start condition.

Why it matters: This condition could lead to a crash which could cause injury or death to the rider.

The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel filter shell free of charge. The recall began on July 31, 2008.
