2004 Buell Blast recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the valve which was designed to allow air to replace fuel in the tank during operation could malfunction thereby starving the engine for fuel.
💥 The risk
This situation could cause the vehicle to shut down without warning, which could lead to a crash, causing the possibility of death or injury.
🔧 The fix
Buell will replace the vent valve. The recall began on august 27, 2004. Owners should contact buell at 414-343-8400.
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.)
