What's wrong?
The fuel pump on the 2013-2015 Victory motorcycles in this recall pulls gasoline from the tank and sends it to the engine at the pressure the engine needs to run. It is part of the fuel delivery system, so steady pump operation keeps fuel moving during starting, idling, and riding.
On these motorcycles, the fuel pump was incorrectly crimped during manufacturing. The crimp holds the pump body together at the specified force, and an incorrect crimp lets the pump seize instead of spinning and moving fuel. When that happens, fuel delivery stops and the motorcycle stalls.
There is no warning sign before failure. A rider can go from normal operation to a stalled engine without a light, sound, or change in feel that points to the pump first.

What happens at the repair
The recall repair is available now. At the dealer, a Victory technician replaces the fuel pump covered by recall 15V002. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. The work addresses a fuel pump that was incorrectly crimped during manufacturing and can seize. If you paid out of pocket for a fuel pump repair tied to this condition before the recall repair, Victory uses the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan. Bring repair orders, receipts, and payment records to the service desk.
