The issue
On certain motorcycles, the fuel hose (between the fuel tank and the throttle body fuel rail) may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. As well, fuel may leak onto the rear tire while the motorcycle is being ridden, which could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel hose.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, la canalisation de transport de carburant (entre le réservoir à carburant et la rampe d'alimentation en carburant du corps du papillon) pourrait avoir été mal fabriquée et fuir. Une fuite de carburant, en présence d'une source d'inflammation, pourrait causer un incendie. De plus, du carburant pourrait couler sur le pneu arrière pendant que la motocyclette roule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident. Ces problèmes pourraient endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la canalisation de transport de carburant.
