Due to a software issue related to the internal temperature of the instrument cluster, if the temperature of the instrument cluster is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), the speedometer and neutral indicator may not display as intended. If this occurs an error warning message will appear to warn the rider.
What are the hazards?
If the speedometer or neutral indicator is not displayed as intended the rider will be unable to correctly determine the operating speed. This may increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to the rider, passenger or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners can contact their nearest Harley-Davidson dealer immediately to schedule an appointment to have the software updated in the instrument cluster module at no charge.
Due to a manufacturing issue, the oil cooler hose may become damaged due to the radiant heat exposure from the exhaust pipes.
What are the hazards?
If the oil cooler hose becomes damaged, it may lead to a loss of engine oil onto the rear tyre. The rear tyre may lose traction without warning. This may lead to serious injury or death to the rider and other road users.
What should consumers do?
When parts become available owners will be contacted by Honda and asked to contact their nearest authorised Honda Motorcycle Dealer to have their motorcycle inspected and repaired free of charge.
Note: Until the inspection and repair are carried out, owners of affected vehicles are advised not to ride above 5,000 rpm in first gear, as this could raise the temperature around the oil cooler outlet pipe and may result in hose being damaged and an oil leak to occur. If you find an oil leak at the pre-ride inspection, stop riding, and immediately contact your nearest Honda dealer.
If the current locking split pins used for mounting and securing the brake pad holding bracket in the front and rear caliper are fitted incorrectly or in the wrong direction the locking pins can come out and no longer secure the brake pad holding bracket.
This can cause the brake pad holding bracket to become detached resulting in a loss of braking performance.
What are the hazards?
A reduction or loss in breaking performance could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners can contact an authorised dealer ASAP to make an appointment to have the recall performed free of charge.
NOTE: This NEW recall campaign action replaces the previous recall bulletin which required a check of the locking split pins used for mounting and securing the front brake pad holding bracket in the caliper and may have been positioned (fitted) in the wrong direction.
The brake light may remain illuminated when the front brakes are not applied.
What are the hazards?
If this occurs the traffic behind the vehicle will be unable to identify whether the motorcycle is actually braking. This may lead to an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected motorcycles can contact their nearest Harley-Davidson Australia dealer immediately and arrange an appointment to have the master cylinder rebuilt free of charge.
Due to a manufacturing issue with the engine crankcase, oil may leak onto the road and come in contact with the rear tyre. This could result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
What are the hazards?
A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of an accident, which may cause injury or death to rider and/or passenger or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected motorcycles can contact their local Yamaha Dealer to make an appointment to have their model inspected and fixed free of charge.
A clutch slave cylinder manufactured with a bellow style gasket may be damaged during assembly. Damage could result in the clutch failing to disengage preventing the rider from being able to change gears.
What are the hazards?
If the clutch fails to disengage it could result in a loss of motorcycle control increasing the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or bystanders.
What should consumers do?
Owners can contact an authorised dealer and make an appointment to have the rectification performed free of charge.
Due to a manufacturing issue with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) module it is possible that excess grease may adhere to internal components. Continued use of the motorcycle, without addressing this issue, may cause an internal pressure leak, which could lead to increased braking distances.
What are the hazards?
Unexpected increase in required braking distance could lead to an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners should contact their nearest Honda motorcycle dealer and arrange for their motorcycle to be inspected and repaired, free of charge.
