2002 Bigdog Motorcycle recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, a fuel valve's outlet nipple, to which the fuel line attaches, may pull out of the fuel valve, allowing fuel to exit onto the motor and primary drive.
💥 The risk
Fuel spillage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel (shut off) valve. 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.)
