| Defect summary | Certain fuel shut-off valves used as replacement equipment, p/nos 61338-02, 62169-02a, 61338-94d, and 62169-95c for use on certain 2005 carbureted sportsters, dyna, softail, and touring model motorcycles. These valves may have been produced with the functionality of the 'on' position and the 'reserve' position of the valve may have been reversed. |
| Consequence summary | If the bike were operating with the valve in the 'on' position, the bike could run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. This could lead to the driver running out of gas without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. |
