On certain motorcycles, the gasket between the fuel tank and the fuel pump mounting plate can lose its ability to provide a tight seal, allowing fuel to drip from the gasket. In the presence of an ignition source, leaked fuel can cause a fire. Correction: A redesigned fuel pump gasket will be installed on affected motorcycles. On TL1000S models, the fuel tank will also be replace with a redesigned fuel tank that incorporates a different tank mounting system.
