HUSQVARNA VITPILEN 701 Recalls

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 has 4 recalls covering 2018–2020 model years, with the most serious being a fuel leak at the fuel pump and fuel level sensor mounting area that can create a fire risk even when the motorcycle is parked. The fuel leak issue affects all 2018–2020 models and is consistent across the recall filings: fuel can seep from the pump and sensor mounting area and reach an ignition source, raising the fire risk whether the bike is running or sitting still. The second concern, also spanning 2018–2020, involves the license plate holder and swingarm connection, where the gear teeth can be misaligned and allow the rear axle nut to work loose. When that happens, the license plate holder can shift and contact the rear wheel, interfering with wheel rotation and reducing the rider's ability to steer or stop predictably.
