NHTSA Complaint #10573305 — 2006 HONDA VT750C

BOUGHT THE SHADOW AND NOTICED THE PETCOCK WAS LEAKING WHEN TURNED ON. I BOUGHT A FACTORY PETCOCK FROM HONDA AND INSTALLED IT. NOW NOT A FEW MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING. IT IS A FAULTY DIAPHRAGM THAT CAUSES GAS TO LEAK ONTO A HOT ENGINE BLOCK. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND SET RIGHT BY THE DEALERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. 1- IT'S LEAKING GAS, THAT'S A PRETTY PENNY NOWADAYS, 2- IT'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD IF GAS IS LEAKING ALL OVER THE GROUND,3- IT'S A FIRE HAZARD FOR THE RIDER AND PEOPLE AROUND SHOULD THE BIKE DECIDE TO COMBUST, 4- IT IS NOT A RARE PROBLEM LOOK AT ANY 2004 AND UP SAME PROBLEMS, 5- THE DEALERS ARE SELLING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS, ALL IN ALL THERE IS NO FIX. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN MANY RESPECTS. *TR
