You don't need to be the first owner and the age shouldn't matter. For example, in 2005 I, as the third owner, received the letter for that recall and had my '94 850 serviced. So that should debunk the 8 year time limit and original owner ideas.

I don't have the paperwork in front of me (let me know and I'll dig it out of my file) but I recall that it was about the attachment points for the shield. The recall was to check the attchments and add rubber grommets to keep them from cracking.

Have you investigated where the leak is coming from? Perhaps it's the fill tube connection.

Good Luck,
Will
