What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THESE MOTORCYCLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT AIR CLEANER COMPONENT.
What can happen
THIS COMPONENT COULD RESTRICT AIR FLOW INTO THE FLOAT BOWL OF THE CARBURETOR, CAUSING FUEL TO OVERFLOW, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THIS COULD ALSO PREVENT SUFFICIENT FUEL FLOW, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE OR STALL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FLOAT BOWL VENT ASSEMBLY FOR PROPER VENTING AND CORRECT THIS CONDITION IF NECESSARY.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
