Fellow Riders,
I received a safety recall notice from Honda today. My Shadow is a 2011 Aero, and the recall applies to 2010-2016 VT750 models as indicated below. Here is the text of about half of the letter I received:
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Dear Honda VT750C/CA/CS/C2/C2B/C2F/C2S Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
What is the reason for this notice?
Honda has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2010-2016 model year Honda VT750C/CA/CS and VT750C2/C2B/C2F/C2S motorcycles. It is possible that long term exposure to engine vibrations may cause the bank angle sensor wiring to break, or be damaged. If the bank angle sensor wiring is damaged or broken, the engine may stall; if this occurs while riding, the risk of a crash will increase.
Even if you had your motorcycle's bank angle sensor replaced as part of NHTSA Recall 11V-310, your motorcycle is still affected by this recall and must have a new bank angle sensor installed.
What should you do?
Call any authorized Honda motorcycle dealer and make an appointment to have your motorcycle's bank angle sensor replaced at no cost to you.
Once you make an appointment for your vehicle, be advised that the complete inspection and repair time may take approximately 0.9 hours; however, please ask your dealer for the specific time your vehicle will need to be at the dealership.
For assistance with locating a Honda motorcycle dealer, you may call Honda Motorcycle Customer Support at: 1-866-784-1870 or use the "find a dealer" option on Honda Powersports - Motorcycles, ATVs, Scooters, SxS.
To say the least, this is a drag. :frown2:
My apologies if this is already common knowledge or has been posted elsewhere on the forum. I haven't been here in a few months, and I wanted to share this with fellow riders.
