Details

What's wrong: On certain scooters, excessive clearance between the lower handlebar clamp and handlebar holder creates stress that can eventually cause the handlebar to loosen or detach.

Why it matters: This could result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install two lower handlebar clamps, add washers between the lower clamps and handlebar holder, and install new locknuts. Owner notification began on December 11, 2003. Owners should contact Honda at 1-866-784-1870.
