4/1/2014 NOON- I DROVE THE CAR 2 MILES, MOSTLY 50 MPH OR LESS, PULLED UP TO MY MAILBOX ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, NOTICED COPIOUS SMOKE FROM UNDERNEATH. JUMPED FROM THE CAR AS MY HUSBAND CALLED 911. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND DESTROYED. THERE HAD BEEN NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAK OR OTHER MALFUNCTION. OIL LIFE WAS AT 30% AS I HAD CHECKED IT THE DAY BEFORE. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF MALFUNCTION BEFORE THE SMOKE, NO ACCIDENTS, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE REPORTS AVAILABLE. REPORTED TO STATE FARM INSURANCE. CAUSE UNKNOWN SINCE IT JUST HAPPENED.

Incident: January 25, 2017 · Filed: January 26, 2017

MOTORCYCLE PARKED IN NOONDAY SUN ON CLEAR 60-DEGREE WINTER DAY. CAME BACK AFTER 2 HOURS TO FIND ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT PANEL MELTING AND HOT TO THE TOUCH. PANEL ALSO TURNED BLACK SO NO SPEED, FUEL LEVEL, TACHOMETER, AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. IDENTICAL SITUATION OCCURRED DECEMBER OF 2015 WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME HONDA DID IT RELUCTANTLY. MOTORCYCLE IS NOW OFF WARRANTY SO COST WILL BE OVER 500$. MOTORCYCLES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE LEFT IN SUNLIGHT AND NOT HAVING AN INSTRUMENT PANEL/POD IS A SAFETY HAZARD. SIMILAR INSTRUMENT PANELS ARE USED ON SEVERAL OTHER HONDA MOTORCYCLES AND FORUMS ARE FULL OF SIMILAR FAILURES. *TR
