On certain motorcycles, the fuel hose from the fuel filter to the throttle assembly can rub against the bottom of the fuel pump plate and develop a leak. In the presence of a spark or flame, the leaking fuel could cause a fire and personal injury. Correction: Fuel hose will be replaced with a molded hose that curves away from the fuel pump plate. Also, a new bracket and grommet will be installed to hold the new hose in position. The return hose will be replaced at the same time.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1999230.
