FUEL LINE CONNECTION CAME OFF FUEL PUMP WHILE RIDING ON THE INTERSTATE @ 65 MPH, SOAKING RIDER'S RIGHT LEG, ENGINE, AND BACK TIRE OF MOTORCYCLE WITH A GALLON OR MORE OF GASOLINE. GASOLINE SOAKED REAR TIRE LOST TRACTION AND LOCKED UNDER BRAKING, ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION, NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT BOTH FULLY-INSTALLED FUEL LINES COULD BE PULLED OFF THE GAS TANK FUEL PUMP CONNECTIONS BY HAND WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE PLASTIC RETAINER CLIPS. THE CLIPS THEMSELVES LOOK UNDAMAGED; THE CLIPS AND LINES ARE STOCK, UNMODIFIED AND ORIGINAL TO THE MOTORCYCLE. SEE ATTACHED PICS. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF EASILY PULLING THE FUEL LINES OFF THE GAS TANK WITHOUT DISENGAGING THE RETAINERS.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
