NHTSA Campaign 99V140000

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

Issued by BUELL MOTORCYCLE CO. · Reported Jun 3, 1999 · 1,177 vehicles affected

What's wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THESE MOTORCYCLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT AIR CLEANER COMPONENT.

Consequence

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.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FLOAT BOWL VENT ASSEMBLY FOR PROPER VENTING AND CORRECT THIS CONDITION IF NECESSARY.
