There definitely should be recalls, my whole engine has been replaced under warranty, and I just replaced a throttle cable that sawed its way through the hose--I think that was a recall item as wellOriginally Posted by Espen

Yep, works for mine. My local dealer told me there was a recall outstanding on mine and they would fix it for free! It was just a check to see if anyone changed the rad cap since 1992 :-)
