Motorcycle (Honda CBR1000RR) - Repair

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Honda CBR1000RR) - Repair. Due to a defect in the fuel system (fuel tank cap). ■Defective part (component name): Fuel system (fuel tank cap). ■Details and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed not to comply with standards: In the fuel tank, the evaluation of the fuel tank cap's sealing performance and the dimensions of the gasket holder fitted to the cap are inappropriate. If the gasket is deformed by fuel, it may shift when the cap is closed, resulting in insufficient sealing. Consequently, sudden deceleration when the tank contains a large amount of fuel may cause fuel to leak from the gasket's sealing area and discharge through the drain tube. Water entering the tank through the sealing area during washing may also cause engine problems or rust at the bottom of the tank. If use continues in this condition, the rust may progress and, in the worst case, fuel may leak. Published 2017-10-26.
What to do now
(Recall)4133 ■Remedial measures: On all vehicles, replace the fuel tank cap with an improved part, inspect the cap's sealing condition and check for water ingress into the tank. If water has entered, replace the fuel tank, fuel pump and injectors with new parts on vehicles fitted with a sheet-steel fuel tank; on vehicles fitted with a titanium fuel tank, replace the fuel pump and injectors with new parts.
