Service Brakes, Hydraulic05V010000

Filed Jan 24, 200536,046 vehiclesHonda (american Honda Motor Co.)

Defect. CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH COMBINED-BRAKE SYSTEMS HAVE A PROPORTIONING CONTROL VALVE (PCV) THAT MECHANICALLY PROPORTIONS BRAKE FORCE WHEN THE REAR BRAKE IS APPLIED. A SEAL IN SOME PCVS IS IMPROPERLY SHAPED, AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR.

Risk. IF THE MOTORCYCLE CONTINUES TO BE USED AFTER A LEAK OCCURS, THE REAR BRAKE WOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME INOPERATIVE. A LOSS OF REAR BRAKE FORCE COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE FORLEAKAGE. IF LEAKAGE IS CONFIRMED, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PCV FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 31, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 866-784-1870.

DT: WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION HE LOST THE REAR BRAKES. THE BRACKET ON THE RIGHT FOOT PEG DID NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT AT THE TIME, AND THIS WAS WHY THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK, BUT THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE CONSUMER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THERE WAS NO WARNING, THERE WAS A SPACE BETWEEN SKID MARKS, WHERE THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS, AND THEN THE FRONT BRAKES CAME INTO EFFECT. CONSUMER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO RIGHT ANKLE, KNEE, PELVIS BONE, AND ABRASIONS TO RIGHT SHOULDER. THIS HAPPENED ON JUNE 25, 2005. THERE WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. CONSUMER COULD NOT FIND THE VIN FOR THIS MOTORCYCLE BECAUSE IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP, AND HE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING WITH IT.*AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
