BUELL-out of business
The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THESE MOTORCYCLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT AIR CLEANER COMPONENT.
Risk
THIS COMPONENT COULD RESTRICT AIR FLOW INTO THE FLOAT BOWL OF THE CARBURETOR, CAUSING FUEL TO OVERFLOW, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THIS COULD ALSO PREVENT SUFFICIENT FUEL FLOW, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE OR STALL.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FLOAT BOWL VENT ASSEMBLY FOR PROPER VENTING AND CORRECT THIS CONDITION IF NECESSARY.
