The issue

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. Consequently, when the control handle of the valve is set in the ON position the valve actually selects the RESERVE position fuel flow path. If a bike operated with the valve in the ON position begins to run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. If this occurs it could create a quit while riding situation which could lead to a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel valve.

Description (français)

Certaines motocyclettes pourraient avoir été dotées d'un robinet d'arrêt de l'alimentation en carburant défectueux. Les positions ON et RESERVE du robinet pourraient avoir été inversées. En conséquence, lorsque la poignée de commande du robinet est en position ON, le robinet est en position RESERVE. Si une motocyclette dont le robinet est en position ON commence à manquer de carburant, la réserve de carburant ne sera pas disponible. Si cela se produisait, le moteur pourrait cesser de fonctionner subitement, ce qui pourrait provoquer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le robinet de carburant.
