HONDA MOTORCYCLE WIRING HARNESS SAFETY RECALL. *NM RECALL CAMPAIGN : 04V568000. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE IS HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING HONDA TO COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY RECALL OF HIS MOTORCYCLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM CENTERS ON THE FACT THAT AMERICAN HONDA ISSUES PARTS REQUIRED BY THE RECALL TO THE SELLING DEALER. AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT SEND PARTS TO THE LOCAL DEALER, THEY WILL ONLY SEND PARTS TO THE SELLING DEALER AND THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE IN OHIO, AND HE DOES NOT LIVE THERE. *TC
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 & remedy
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.
Remedy: 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.
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS HAS A GROUND DISTRIBUTION CONNECTOR THAT IS INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED. SOME ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS MAY OVERHEAT AND SHORT, INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMP.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE FUEL PUMP STOPS WORKING, THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE GROUND DISTRIBUTION CONNECTOR FOR OVERHEATING DAMAGE. IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE WIRE HARNESS WILL BE REPLACED. IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE CONNECTORS WILL BE ASSEMBLED PROPERLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 8, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 866-784-1870.
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE ROUTING OF SOME WIRE HARNESSES MAY ALLOW A CONNECTOR TO CONTACT AND CHAFE AGAINST THE FUEL TANK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EVENTUALLY THE CHAFING MAY CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT AND BLOW AN IGNITION SYSTEM FUSE. THE ENGINE WILL THEN STALL WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR POSITION AND CHECK FOR DAMAGE. IF ANY DAMAGE IS FOUND, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE NECESSARY PARTS. IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND, DEALERS WILL REPOSITION THE CONNECTOR, AND MAKE SURE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE EXISTS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 8, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-866-784-1870.
