Details

What's wrong: The front fuel tank mounts may distort in reaction to severe frame damage from a frontal collision. This condition may cause a fuel leak at the weld of the front bracket to the tunnel.

Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire, which could lead to injury or death to the rider.

The fix: Dealers will install a left and right brace, which are intended to reduce front mount distortion during certain crash conditions. This repair will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on December 11, 2009.
