2005 Suzuki Vinson 500 (Lt-A500f) Recall

Issued April 14, 2005
Issue
Hazard description
Certain ATV's were assembled with incorrect fuel petcock inserts. The affected fuel tanks were manufactured with inserts made of polypropylene. The correct material for the fuel petcock inserts is polyethylene. With the incorrect material, there is insufficient bonding between the fuel tank and the fuel petcock insert during the molding process, which can allow fuel leaks to develop. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, where required, replace the fuel tank.
