DECEMBER 2009 -
Buell is recalling certain
model year 2010 XB12X and
XB12XT motorcycles
manufactured from August 20
through September 30, 2009.
The right hand side footpeg
mount may have been
manufactured to incorrect
specifications. This
condition could allow the
footpeg to move
significantly out of
position, which could lead
to loss of control of the
vehicle resulting in injury
or death of the rider.
Dealers will replace the
defective footpeg mount with
a new footpeg mount that was
manufactured to the correct
specifications. This service
will be performed free of
charge. The safety recall
began on December 14, 2009.
Owners may contact Buell
Distribution Company at
1-414-343-8400. 09V-465
SEPTEMBER 2009 --
Buell is recalling model
year 2009 XB12Ss
motorcycles. The front brake
line may contact the front
tire. This contact could
cause a hole to develop in
the front brake line,
allowing brake fluid to
leak. This condition might
cause an ineffective front
brake and lead to a crash.
Dealers will inspect the
front brake line and if
undamaged, install a guide
on the line. If the line is
damaged, it will be replaced
and re-routed. Either repair
will be performed free of
charge. The recall began on
September 21, 2009.

APRIL
2009 --
Buell Distribution Company
is recalling 3,316 MY 2008
1125R, MY 2009 XB12R and
XB12SCG motorcycles. The
subject motorcycles have a
front brake line which may
contact the front tire. The
condition could cause a hole
to develop in the front
brake line, allowing brake
fluid to leak. This
condition might cause an
ineffective front brake,
leading to a possible crash
and potential injury or
death of the rider. Dealers
will re-route the front
brake line. If damage to the
brake line has occurred, the
brake line will be replaced
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin on or
before April 20, 2009.

OCTOBER
2008 --
Buell is
recalling 624 MY 2008-2009
XB12XT and MY 2009 XB12XP
motorcycles. The windshields
may become dislodged and
allow the windshield to
either strike or distract
the rider while the vehicle
is being ridden at a high
speed. This could result in
a crash, which could cause
injury or death to the
rider. Dealers will remove
the windshield's two rubber
mounted nuts and install two
new fastener assemblies. The
recall began on October 22,
2008. Owners may contact
Buell at 1-414-342-4080.

OCTOBER
2008 --
Buell is
recalling 140 MY 2009 1125CR
motorcycles. These
motorcycles can experience a
premature failure of the
rear cylinder cam chain
tension guide (Part No.
F0020.1AM). This failure can
cause plastic debris to
block the oil pump screen,
possibly leading to oil
starvation and engine
seizure. This condition may
allow the engine to seize,
resulting in rear wheel
lock-up. This could result
in a crash, which could
cause injury or death to the
rider. Dealers will replace
the rear cam chain tensioner.
These tension guides were
manufactured in Austria. The
recall began on October 22,
2008. Owners may contact
Buell at 1-414-342-4680.

AUGUST
2008 --
Buell is
recalling 1,307 MY 2007-2008
Blast motorcycles. The fuel
tank may experience some
local deformation under
high-heat conditions that
creates contact of the tank
with the cylinder head. In
some of these cases, the
cylinder head rubbing on the
fuel tank has created a fuel
leak. This could result in a
crash or fire, which could
cause injury or death to the
rider. Dealers will install
a bracket which will prevent
the fuel tank from
contacting the cylinder
head. The recall is expected
to begin during September
2008. Owners may contact
Buell at 1-414-343-8400.
