Default 2003-06 SV650/S and SV1000/S recall notice

I didn't see anything here yet, but in case you haven't already found out, there has been a recall on the above listed (CA Models.) I know there are a number of SV riders here, so thought I would let ya'll know.

For the actual notice go to http://httwww.suzukicycles.com/Recalls/

For the lazy, here is whatsup:

Make : SUZUKI Model : SV650 Year : 2006

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06V013000 Mfg's Report Date : JAN 11, 2006
Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 4841
Summary:
ON CERTAIN CALIFORNIA-SPECIFICATION MODEL MOTORCYCLES, REPEATED STRESS
FROM VIBRATION CAN CAUSE A CRACK TO FORM IN THE AREA WHERE THE
LIQUID/VAPOR SEPARATOR BRACKET IS WELDED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THIS
CAN ALLOW FUEL LEAKAGE TO OCCUR.
Consequence:
FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
