The hazard

On certain motorcycles, the fuel hose (between the fuel tank and the throttle body fuel rail) may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. As well, fuel may leak onto the rear tire while the motorcycle is being ridden, which could increase the risk of a crash. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel hose.
