Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Drifter: Fuel System
Affects Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Drifter · 1999 — about 421 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the fuel hose from the fuel filter to the throttle assembly can rub against the bottom of the fuel pump plate and develop a leak. In the presence of a spark or flame, the leaking fuel could cause a fire and personal injury. Correction: Fuel hose will be replaced with a molded hose that curves away from the fuel pump plate. Also, a new bracket and grommet will be installed to hold the new hose in position. The return hose will be replaced at the same time.
