07- Fuel System#2024096
3,811 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the fuel pump could fail. If this happens, the engine could stall while riding and you may not be able to restart it. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a Honda Powersports dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pump module.
- Engine#2022050
15 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the exhaust pipe could overheat under certain riding conditions. If this happens, heat from the exhaust pipe could cause the oil cooler pipe to melt and create an oil leak. Safety Risk: Oil that leaks onto a hot exhaust system could create a fire risk. An oil leak near the rear tire could affect handling and control of the motorcycle. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to not to drive your motorcycle above 5,000 RPM in 1st gear until the recall repairs have been completed. You should contact a Honda Powersports dealer immediately if the motorcycle has an oil leak. When repair parts are available, Honda will send you a second letter. They will advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the oil cooler pipe and install a heat guard between the exhaust pipe and oil cooler pipe.
- Suspension#2021214
15 units affected
Issue: On certain CBR100RR-R (Fireblade SP) models, the rear shock connecting plate may not have been installed correctly. As a result, the plate may break suddenly while riding and cause a drop in vehicle height. If this happens, the stability and control of the motorcycle could be affected. Safety Risk: A loss of stability or control could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a Honda Powersport dealer to inspect the left and right rear shock connecting plates. If they are not correctly installed, they will be replaced.
- Powertrain#2020506
15 units affected
Issue: On certain motorcycles, the pivot bolt on the gear shift lever can loosen during a strong up-shift gear change. If this happens, the bolt could break and the shift lever could fall off, making it impossible to change gears. Safety Risk: An inability to change gears could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the shift lever pivot bolt. Dealers will also apply a thread locking compound to the bolt.
- Fuel System#2017527
67 units affected
On certain vehicles, the fuel cap could fail to seal against the filler neck. This could allow a small amount of fuel to leak into the drain tube during acceleration or deceleration if the fuel tank is full. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. The improper seal could also allow water to enter the fuel tank, potentially affecting engine function and resulting in an engine stall. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank cap.
- Electrical#2015300
8,019 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.
- Suspension#2015162
61 units affected
On certain CBR-1000RR SP models, the rear shock absorber may not have been manufactured correctly. The piston rod nut may have been tightened before the piston had the correct full metal-to-metal contact. This could result in the nut loosening, which would prevent proper rear suspension action, and could cause poor handling that may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will repair/replace the rear shock absorber.
