What NHTSA recorded

On some motorcycles, certain frame welds do not meet manufacturing specifications. High loads created when riding on rough road surfaces or through potholes can cause the affected welds to crack.

Possible consequence

The welded area could break, resulting in rear suspension collapse or lower cross member separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and reinforce the welds on all frames. Owner notification began during october 2003. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
