2004 Honda ST1300A recalls

Service brakes, hydraulic

NHTSA campaign 05V010000 · reported January 24, 2005 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) · 36,046 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: 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.
The risk: 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.
The fix: 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.

Electrical system: wiring

NHTSA campaign 04V568000 · reported December 9, 2004 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) · 4,345 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: On certain motorcycles, the main wire harness has a ground distribution connector that is incorrectly assembled. Some electrical circuits may overheat and short, including the fuel pump.
The risk: If the fuel pump stops working, the engine will stall without warning, which could cause a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the ground distribution connector for overheating damage. If any damage is found, the wire harness will be replaced. If no damage is found, the connectors will be assembled properly. The recall began on december 8, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 866-784-1870.
