# Service bulletin V\-15\-03 R02

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

- Published by NHTSA: 2020\-08\-28
- Manufacturer's number: V\-15\-03 R02

## NHTSA's summary

Victory has determined that some 2015 Victory motorcycle models, designated for sale in the State of California, may not meet emission control standards set forth by the California Air Resource Board \(CARB\). Some 2015 Victory motorcycles, equipped with California emission control components, may not effectively utilize stored fuel vapor from the charcoal canister. Victory has developed an updated Idle Air Control distribution hose which enables the engine to draw fuel vapor from the charcoal canister into both front and rear cylinders resulting in more complete utilization of stored fuel vapor. The ECM software must also be updated.

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [V\-17\-02](/bulletins/10178932.md), 2020-08-28, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; SERVICE BRAKES; EQUIPMENT. Victory engineering has determined that some Cross Country, Cross Country Tour, Cross Roads, Magnum and Hard Ball models may experience damage to the rear brake line. Motorcycles experiencing prolonged misfire conditions may produce increased catalytic converter temperatures causing the retention clip securing the rear brake line to melt. In extreme cases, the retention clip may melt onto the catalytic converter, and increasing the risk of brake line damage.
- [V\-16\-01](/bulletins/10178929.md), 2020-08-28, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Victory has determined that some 2015\-2016 Victory Cruiser motorcycles, certified for sale in the EU market and some non\-EU countries outside of the United States and Canada, may not meet emission standards required by the EU directive 2002/24/EC. Victory has released an exhaust system inspection procedure and an ECM software update to bring emissions levels into compliance with EU requirements.
