THIS IS A RECALL FOR THE 2006 VT600C FUEL VALVE DIAPHRAGM PART. I RECEIVE THE RECALL BUT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS FAILED TO REPLACE THE PART SAYING IT IS BACK ORDERED. I NEED THIS PART REPLACED. STAR CITY POWER SPORTS IS THE COMPANY IN ROANOKE, VA 1-866-275-5144. *TR
BRAKE FAILURE ON 2006 HONDA VT600. FRONT BRAKES STICK IN STOP POSITION, PREVENTING REPEATED BREAKING. FRONT BRAKE CALIPER DRAGS ON ROTOR. I NEED TO CHECK BRAKES AND PUMP THEM BEFORE EVERY RIDE, BUT I HAVE BEEN VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. VISITED DEALER ON MAY 24, 2008. SERVICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED MASTER CYLINDER KIT, WHICH WOULD BE ORDERED. PAID FOR PARTS AT TIME OF ORDER. DURING A FOLLOW-UP CALL TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE PARTS FOR THE VT600 WERE ON "NATIONWIDE BACKORDER" AND THE EARLIEST THEY COULD ARRIVE WAS JUNE 14, 2008. THIS MADE ME SUSPECT THAT THIS BRAKE ISSUE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
