MOTORCYCLES/COMBINED BRAKE SYSTEM LEAK

NHTSA #05V010000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic · NHTSA notice

Reported January 24, 2005 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)

Potentially affected: 36,046 vehicles

Honda campaign P65 · Owners notified January 31, 2005 · Vehicles built October 16, 2002 – February 22, 2003 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

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.

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer 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.

Incident: June 25, 2005 · Filed: July 6, 2005

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
