Issue: This recall is for certain replacement handlebar under holders that were installed during service by a Honda Powersports dealer. On certain motorcycles, the replacement handlebar under holders may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the handlebar holders may not secure the handlebar correctly and cause it to move while riding. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control. Note: This voluntary recall is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Safety Risk: A loss of steering control 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 handlebar under holders.
