On certain motorcycles, the fuel rail could shift positions and could contact other components and chafe, causing a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a bracket that limits movement of the fuel rail. Additionally, dealers will inspect fuel rails for damage and replace as necessary.
On certain motorcycles, the engine may misfire and cause unburned fuel to be routed into the exhaust system. This could result in excessive exhaust heat that may pose a fire hazard which could cause injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the ECU with software that includes misfire detection.
On certain motorcycles, the primary cup seal in the rear master cylinder could tear. If this were to occur, brake fluid pressure to the rear caliper would be reduced, and the performance of the rear brake would be degraded. This would increase stopping distances and could affect braking control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylinder piston assembly.
