On certain CBR600F, the fuel vapour from the carburator air vent could enter the fuel pump breather tube. If the fuel/air mixture in the tube becomes combustible, it may be ignited by arcing of the contacts in the electrical fuel pump. This could cause a fire at the end of the breather tube which could spread to adjacent components. Correction: The fuel pump breather tube will be replaced and re-routed.
