Posted on: 2007-09-27
Description
On certain motorcycles, the fuel line can potentially contact heated metal parts of the motorcycle and melt.
Consequence
This condition could occur without any prior warning and could result in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Dealers replaced the fuel line with one that has higher thermal resistance properties. Also new fuel lines were rerouted to further reduce exposure to heated metal. All motorcycles have been repaired. No owner notification will be necessary.

DEFECT #2 - EQUIPMENT
Posted on: 2008-03-18
Description
Big dog is recalling 38 rear passenger foot rest assemblies, part no. 163-000040-01, sold as an accessory for my 2008 ridgeback motorcycles that were built between july 16, 2007, and february 28, 2008. The subject passenger peg assemblies may resonate and cause disproportionate and/or inappropriate loading on the mounting bolts. Over time, this could cause the bolts that retain the passenger peg assembly to break and allow the passenger peg assembly to detach from the motorcycle.
Consequence
This condition could occur without warning and could result in injury and/or a crash.

Big dog will notify owners and replace the defective whisker bars with a revised design. The recall began on april 15, 2008. Owners may contact big dog at 316-219-6504.
