NHTSA recall 04V163000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: On certain scooters, some fuel tanks were improperly manufactured and do not meet material strength specifications.
Why it matters: Engine vibration or riding on bumpy roads could cause these tanks to crack and leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that identifies defective fuel tanks. If the fuel tank fails the inspection, the dealer will replace it with an updated fuel tank. Owner notification began during April 16, 2004. Owners should contact Honda at 1-866-784-1870.
