NHTSA recall 99V105000
Fuel System, Gasoline · BUELL-out of business
Details
What's wrong: These motorcycles were built with a fuel tank vent valve assembly that could become plugged.
Why it matters: Under certain conditions, this could cause the carburetor to overflow fuel which could result in a fire. This condition could also prevent sufficient fuel flow, which could cause the engine to misfire or stall.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank vent valve assembly.
