Safety Recall - 2006 Victory Motorcycles - Fuel pump retainer clip failure
Dear Victory Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The Victory Motorcycle Division of Polaris Industries Inc. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 2006 Victory motorcycles. Our records indicate that you have purchased a potentially affected vehicle.
The reason for this recall:
The fuel pump retainer clip installed on some 2006 Victory motorcycle fuel pumps may not meet Victory quality standards. If the retainer clip fails, the fuel pump may not provide adequate fuel pressure, or the pump may fail entirely, which can cause poor performance or possible engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
What Victory and your dealer will do:
To correct this possible defect, your authorized Victory dealer will install a new retainer clip on the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. Repairs will be made by an authorized Victory motorcycle dealer at no cost to you. The repair will take approximately one hour and fifteen minutes to perform, although your dealership may need your motorcycle for a longer period of time depending on the work schedule.
What you should do:
Please call your authorized Victory motorcycle dealer to schedule an appointment. Do not attempt repairs yourself. Repairs must be done only by an authorized Victory motorcycle dealer.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR MOTORCYCLE UNTIL ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED!
