Consumer Description

DURING NORMAL RIDING ON A VACATION TRIP I STOPPED TO REFUEL AND GAS WAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND. AFTER REMOVING THE SEAT I FOUND WHAT IS LISTED BELOW. ABOUT ONE HALF GALLON OF GAS LEAKED ON THE GROUND BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO USE EPOXY PUTTY TO STOP THE LEAK. A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP/FILTER ASSEMBLY "CAP" ON TOP OF THE TANK WHICH ALLOWS FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE TANK AND POOL UNDER THE SEAT CREATING A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM REFERRED TO IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V236000 REGARDING THE CS MODEL. *TR
