Details

What's wrong: These motorcycles have a fuel tank vent tube assembly, part no. 27389-04a, which may have been produced with a defective ultrasonic weld on the anti-slosh valve.

Why it matters: If the valve separates and the bike is tipped over, it may leak fuel. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel vent tube assembly and, if necessary, replace it. The recall is expected to begin on or about December 8, 2008.
