06- Lights And Instruments#2025173
936 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, there could be a problem inside the headlight. As a result, the headlight could flicker or shut off. Safety Risk: A headlight that flickers or shuts off could cause reduced visibility and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to replace the headlight.
- Engine#2023215
136 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the right-side engine crankcase cover could leak oil onto the exhaust pipe and/or the rear tire. Safety Risk: An oil leak onto the rear tire could affect handling and control of the motorcycle. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, oil that leaks onto an exhaust pipe can create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a Honda motorcycle dealership to replace the right-side engine crankcase cover.
- Powertrain#2019261
212 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, a clip in the transmission may detach. This could cause the transmission to shift from neutral into gear during engine start-up, or cause the rear wheel to lockup while the motorcycle is being driven. Safety Risk: A rear wheel lockup could affect vehicle stability and cause a loss of control. A transmission that suddenly shifts into gear could cause unexpected vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the transmission main shaft.
- Engine#2016354
2,400 units affected
On certain motorcycles, condensation in the engine can result in a failure of the connecting rod bearing. If the connecting rod bearing were to fail, it could result in an engine stall. A connecting rod bearing failure could also cause the engine to seize and result in the rear wheel to lock-up while riding, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the crankshaft.
- Electrical#2015601
1,328 units affected
On certain motorcycles, the starter relay switch may have had sealant incorrectly applied during assembly. This could result in increased resistance across the main fuse, potentially interrupting battery voltage to the electrical system. An interruption of battery voltage to the electrical system could cause the engine to either not start or stall while driving. Increased resistance at the main fuse could also cause a fire, potentially resulting in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the starter relay switch, and replace if necessary. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015-300.
