TOKYO, Nov 01 (Information On Japan) –
Honda Motor Co. has filed a recall with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism for over 650,000 bikes as a result of threat of rear wheels locking from oil leaks, probably resulting in accidents.
The recall targets six fashions manufactured between December 2013 and September this yr in Japan and Vietnam. The affected fashions embrace Honda’s “Tact,” “Giorno,” and “Dunk,” in addition to Yamaha-branded “JOG,” “JOG Deluxe,” and “Vino,” totaling 650,290 models.
In line with the Ministry, inadequate sealing within the casing that homes the transmission could trigger oil to leak, which might lock the rear wheel in extreme circumstances.
Thus far, 63 incidents of malfunction have been reported, with two leading to falls, although no accidents had been reported.
Moreover, the corporate has issued a recall for roughly 430,000 models attributable to improper meeting of brake levers, which might trigger brake lights to malfunction and forestall engine startup.
