Breezy5 got the word for word in his post.
"Have others on here received the same notice? It states " Kawasaki Corp USA has decided that a tank defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2009-2010 KLX 250 models. On eligible units, the fuel tank could leak from cracks at the spot of the welds on the side mount taps due to stress caused by excessive clearance between the fuel tank and a frame-mounted rubber damper. Fuel leakage in the presence of spark or flame could cause a fire or explosion"."
Sounds like a washer or spacer could fix the potential problem.
Let us know what the dealers are doing.
