The issue
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank mount system could, in the event of a collision, allow the fuel tank to become separated. Fuel tank separation could result in personal injury. Correction: Fuel tank mount system will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, il se peut que les supports du réservoir à carburant ne soient pas assez solides pour retenir le réservoir en cas d’accident et que ce dernier se détache. Des personnes se trouvant à proximité pourraient alors être blessées. Correction : Les supports du réservoir de carburant devront être remplacés.
