NHTSA recall 05V027000
Structure · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: On some motorcycles, certain frame welds do not meet manufacturing specifications. High loads created when riding on rough road surfaces or through potholes can cause the affected welds to crack.
Why it matters: The welded area could break, resulting in rear suspension collapse or lower cross member separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reinforce the welds on 2001-2002 motorcycles free of charge. On 2003-2004 motorcycles, the units will be repaired, no inspection will be necessary. The recall began on February 9, 2005.
