Details
What's wrong: Some motorcycles may be equipped with drive chains that contain outer drive plates that were improperly heat-treated, resulting in plate fracture during use.
Why it matters: If a plate fractures, the motorcycle can unexpectedly lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the drive chain, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 9, 2012.
