Reason for concern

FUEL LEAK MAY OCCUR

Reason for recall

The fuel tubes are not earthed correctly. If an electro static discharge occurs on the fuel tubes it may cause a pin size hole in the fuel tube and a subsequent fuel leak. If the vehicle is stationary at traffic lights this could cause a pooling underneath the vehicle which could cause the road surface to become slippery and a possible danger to two wheeled vehicles.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and install a new conductive clip to the fuel and brake tube bundle and attach it to the vehicle body.
