An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda Tact and others) - Repair. Due to a fuel system defect. ■Defective components ① Fuel system (fuel tray drain tube, fuel tray) ② Fuel system (fuel tray) ■Details and causes of the defective structure, equipment or performance ① Because the fuel tank's fuel tray drain tube routing and fuel tray shape are inappropriate, sand and other material may clog the fuel tray drain tube, allowing water to enter the fuel tank during driving in rain or washing. If the fuel pump draws in water, the engine may malfunction. Water entering the tank may also cause rust at the bottom of the fuel tank. Continued use in this condition may allow the rust to progress and, in the worst case, fuel may leak. ② Because the fuel tank's fuel tray shape is inappropriate, water entering during washing may accumulate in the fuel tray and enter the fuel tank. If the fuel pump draws in water, the engine may malfunction. Water entering the tank may also cause rust at the bottom of the fuel tank. Continued use in this condition may allow the rust to progress and, in the worst case, fuel may leak. Published 2016-03-03.
