Standard Africa Twin models are not affected. A Honda dealer confirms inclusion by VIN. An authorized Honda dealer drains and cleans the fuel tank and replaces the fuel-filter components, free of charge, using fuel filter kit 06160-MKK-305 (suction filter, fuel filter, pressure regulator, regulator and pump O-rings, fuel chamber and pump base packing). Owners who paid for this repair themselves may be eligible for reimbursement. For a California-registered motorcycle, the dealer issues a KL4 emissions recall proof-of-correction certificate needed for registration renewal.
