2003 Honda FSC600 recalls (3)
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.
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Problem: On certain scooters, some fuel tanks were improperly manufactured and do not meet material strength specifications.
Risk: Engine vibration or riding on bumpy roads could cause these tanks to crack and leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that identifies defective fuel tanks. If the fuel tank fails the inspection, the dealer will replace it with an updated fuel tank. Owner notification began during april 16, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
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.
