Summary

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.

Consequence

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.

Remedy

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.
