ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING Recall for 2005 HONDA VFR800
Summary: 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.
Fix: 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.
