What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 1995-1996 VS800GLS/T AND VS1400GLP INTRUDER MOTORCYCLES. THE FUEL PETCOCK ON SOME MOTORCYCLES CAN SEEP A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE PETCOCK LEVER IS MOVED TO A NEW POSTION.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
