FUEL IS LEAKING FROM A WELD ON THE GAS TANK. IT DRIPS ONTO THE HOT ENGINE AND THE WIRING HARNESS OVER THE 12V BATTERY. KAWASAKI HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2003 AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON INTERNET FORUMS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW AND COULD LEAD TO FIRE AND OR EXPLOSIONS.
THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL. *JB
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
