The risk
The product poses a risk of fire and injuries because the fuel petcock valve mounting inserts may become loose from the fuel tank assembly due to an imperfect fit of the threads of the fuel petcock valve and fuel tank mounting area, respectively. If a brass mounting insert becomes loose or is pulled from the base of the fuel tank, a fuel leak may develop in the petcock valve mounting area. This product does not comply with the Machinery Directive.
Product: Recall concerns 2007 models produced between 21 August 2006 and 7 February 2007.
