Details

What's wrong: The fuel tank filler neck may be insufficiently flat, preventing the fuel cap from sealing properly.

Why it matters: If the fuel cap doesn't properly seal, fuel may leak, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

The fix: Harley-davidson will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorcycle and test to see if fuel can leak from under the fuel cap. Any motorcycle that leaks fuel from under the fuel cap will have its gas tanked replaced, free of charge. The recall began in late September 2014.
