⚠️ What's wrong
Harley-Davidson is recalling 349 my 2009 Fxdb, Fxdc, Fxdf, and Fxdl motorcycles. These motorcycles have a fuel tank vent tube assembly, part no. 27389-04A, which may have been produced with a defective ultrasonic weld on the anti-slosh valve.

Dealers will inspect the fuel vent tube assembly and, if necessary, replace it. The recall is expected to begin on or about december 8, 2008. Owners may contact Harley-Davidson at 1-414-343-4056.
