Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the main stand is attached to the frame with two brackets, nuts and bolts. The nuts are spot-welded to the brackets. If clearance exists between the nut and bracket, the spot welds may be broken when the bolt is torqued.
Risk: Over time, a bolt can loosen and fall out. The main stand could partially or completely detach from the frame, interfering with or damaging the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without warning. A completely detached stand falling on the roadway also creates a hazard for other vehicles.
Fix: Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts and locknuts. Owner notification began on june 29, 2004. Owners should contact american honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
Problem: On certain scooters, excessive clearance between the lower handlebar clamp and handlebar holder creates stress that can eventually cause the handlebar to loosen or detach.
Risk: This could result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install two lower handlebar clamps, add washers between the lower clamps and handlebar holder, and install new locknuts. Owner notification began on december 11, 2003. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
Wheels
Problem: On certain motorcycles, under certain riding conditions, such as continuously bumpy roads, the rear wheel could develop stress cracks where the wheel spokes attach to the hub.
Risk: The spokes will eventually fail, causing the wheel to collapse without warning.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rear wheel, including a new tire. Owner notification is expected to begin during september 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda motorcycle at 1-800-289-8226.
