2006–2007 Buell XB12X recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain motorcycles may have a vibration at the mounting location of the bank angle sensor which, if combined with the misrouting of various wires that impinge on the sensor or its pigtail, CAN compromise the isolation of the bank angle sensor.
💥 The risk
This may create a false 'tip' signal and cause the engine to quit running while being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will move the bank angle sensor from the original location on the battery tray to a location on the seat LATCH. The recall began on march 5, 2007. Owners may contact buell at 1-414-343-8400.
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.)
