  • Recall Announced JANUARY 24 2005
  • NHTSA Reference #05V010000
  • Number Affected 36,046

  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.

  Fix: 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.
