2003 Honda FSC600 recalls
Structure: motorcycle, kickstand/center stand
NHTSA campaign 04V290000 · reported June 25, 2004 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) · 7,494 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
On certain motorcycles, the main stand is attached to the frame with two brackets, nuts and bolts. The nuts are spot-welded to the brackets. If clearance exists between the nut and bracket, the spot welds may be broken when the bolt is torqued.
The risk
Over time, a bolt can loosen and fall out. The main stand could partially or completely detach from the frame, interfering with or damaging the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without warning. A completely detached stand falling on the roadway also creates a hazard for other vehicles.
The fix
Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts and locknuts. Owner notification began on june 29, 2004. Owners should contact american honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Fuel system, gasoline: storage, tank assembly
NHTSA campaign 04V163000 · reported April 12, 2004 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) · 2,497 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
On certain scooters, some fuel tanks were improperly manufactured and do not meet material strength specifications.
The risk
Engine vibration or riding on bumpy roads could cause these tanks to crack and leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that identifies defective fuel tanks. If the fuel tank fails the inspection, the dealer will replace it with an updated fuel tank. Owner notification began during april 16, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
NHTSA campaign 03V513000 · reported December 10, 2003 · AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. · 4,997 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
On certain scooters, excessive clearance between the lower handlebar clamp and handlebar holder creates stress that can eventually cause the handlebar to loosen or detach.
The risk
This could result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install two lower handlebar clamps, add washers between the lower clamps and handlebar holder, and install new locknuts. Owner notification began on december 11, 2003. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
