I PURCHASED A HONDA MOTORCYCLE 2 MONTH AGO. IT WAS A HONDA AERO SHADOW 750. IT HAD ONLY 38 MILES AT PURCHASE. NOW ABOUT 700. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL FOR 2007 BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DIAPHRAGM IN THE FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE. MY FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY WOULD NOT ADDRESS MY COMPLAINT EXCEPT TO SAY IT WAS NOT COVERED. I FEEL THEY SHOULD EXTEND THE CALLBACK TO COVER ALL 750 AERO SHADOW MOTORCYCLES THAT EXHIBIT THAT PROBLEM. IT IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD. RAW GASOLINE DRIPPING ON A HOT ENGINE! *TR

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
