Issue: A build-up of pressure inside the fuel tank could cause gasoline to spray out when opening the fuel cap. Note: This situation is more likely to happen in hot weather conditions. Safety Risk: A fuel spray could create the risk of injury or a fire. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorcycle to a dealer to update the fuel tank venting system. A warning label will also be put on the fuel tank.
On certain motorcycles, the timing chain tensioner could loosen and lead to oil potentially leaking from the bottom side of the tensioner adjustment bolt onto the rear tire. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will tighten both timing chain tensioners to specification.
On certain motorcycles, an output port on the oil cooler may crack and cause an oil leak. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the oil cooler with an improved unit.
On certain motorcycles, the O-ring of the fuel tank internal breathing system valve plug may have been damaged during installation. This could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the plug and the O-ring with new components.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel cap may not vent properly and fuel tank pressure could be increased. This could result in fuel to spray out of the tank while opening the fuel tank cap, which in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will rework the currently installed fuel tank cap and improve the breathing capacity.
