02- 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.
- 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.
