Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, some digital speedometers may experience a computer program error, causing the speedometer to indicate approximately 25 percent less than the actual vehicle speed.

Why it matters: This condition can result in the vehicle being driven at an illegal or unsafe speed, which could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install an updated speedometer and associated components. Owner notification began on May 11, 2004. Owners should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
