The 2018 Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 has 4 recalls covering two distinct safety issues, the most serious being a fuel leak from the fuel level sensor and fuel pump mounting area that can create a fire risk even when the motorcycle is parked. The second issue involves the license plate bracket and rear fender, which may be misaligned in a way that allows the rear axle nut to work loose. If that happens, the bracket can shift and contact the spinning rear wheel, interfering with handling and raising the risk of a crash.
