What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY CONTAINS A SCHRADER VALVE THAT PERMITS A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OF FUEL PRESSURE AT THE FUEL RAIL DURING ENGINE OPERATION. IF THE SCHRADER VALVE IS NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED, FUEL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT.

The risk

FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT ALL MOTORCYCLES AND REPLACE THE FUEL RAILS AS NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 28, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT VICTORY AT 1-763-417-8650.

Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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.
