2002 Bigdog Boxer & 2002 Bigdog Husky + 1 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tanks may have been improperly mounted to the motorcycle. This CAN put unnecessary stress on the tank mounting tabs, causing these tabs to fail, with the possibility of fuel spillage.
💥 The risk
Fuel spillage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove the tanks, replace the mounting grommets and related hardware, and remount the tanks. Owner notification began april 1, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact big dog at 1-316-267-2597.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
