- Campaign:
- 05V010000 on 01/24/2005
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic
- Manufactured:
- 07/15/2002 - 11/24/2002
- Affected:
- 36,046
- Defect:
- Certain motorcycles equipped with combined-brake systems have a proportioning control valve (pcv) that mechanically proportions brake force when the rear brake is applied. a seal in some pcvs is improperly shaped, and brake fluid leakage may occur.
- Consequence:
- If the motorcycle continues to be used after a leak occurs, the rear brake would eventually become inoperative. a loss of rear brake force could increase the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the rear brake forleakage. if leakage is confirmed, the dealer will replace the pcv free of charge. the recall began on january 31, 2005. owners may contact honda at 866-784-1870.
- Notes:
- Honda recall no.p65.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
- Campaign:

- Component:
- Electrical system:wiring
- Manufactured:
- 07/08/2002 - 09/18/2002
- Affected:
- 6,952
- Defect:
- On certain motorcycles, the front fairing sub-harness (section of the wiring harness) transfers the electrical grounding load of the headlights, front turn signals, instrument panel, and various relays to the main wiring harness via an 18-pin connector. under certain conditions, the ground wire terminals inside the connector can overheat, resulting in melting of the connector and a loss of power to various circuits.
- Consequence:
- As a result, a loss of critical lighting or engine power could occur without warning, which could cause a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will install a re-designed sub-harness. if damage is found, the main wiring harness will also be replaced free of charge. an interim letter was mailed to owners on september 26, 2007. owners were re-notified on november 10, 2007, to take their motorcycles to dealers to have the parts installed. owners may contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
