Summary:
CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH
DEFECTIVE FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVES. THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE 'ON' POSITION AND
THE 'RESERVE' POSITION OF THE VALVE MAY HAVE BEEN REVERSED. |
Consequence:
IF THE BIKE WERE OPERATING WITH THE VALVE IN THE 'ON'
POSITION, THE BIKE COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL, THE EXPECTED FUEL RESERVE WILL
NOT BE AVAILABLE. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE DRIVER RUNNING OUT OF GAS WITHOUT
WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL VALVE AND REPLACE IT, IF
NECESSARY. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JANUARY 2005. OWNERS
SHOULD CONTACT HARLEY-DAVIDSON AT 1-414-342-4080. |
