Guest rockmeupto125 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 The XX has a recall for only certain serial numbers in the model years '02 and '03. I've heard on another board it effects less than 100 XX's, but that's not documented. :oops: Make : HONDA Model : CBR1100XX Year : 2003 Manufacturer : AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V010000 Recall Date : JAN 18, 2005 Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number Of Units Affected : 36046 Summary: 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. Consequence: 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. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR BRAKE FORLEAKAGE. IF LEAKAGE IS CONFIRMED, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PCV. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 3, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 866-784-1870. Notes: HONDA RECALL NO. P65. CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATIONÂ’S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

The Krypt Keeper Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 buddy of mine had his 02' bird leak out all the brake fluid in the rear. He took it to the shop and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. But went ahead and tightened everything up.. :roll: If nothing is wrong where did the fluid go, and why would you have to tighten up anything? Haven't had a problem with mine.

jcrich Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 But Rich........didn't you already have to replace the tool kit strap? Actually no, mine is still intact. Although I am now going to have to go check it, in light of the seal failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard on another board it effects less than 100 XX's, but that's not documented. :oops: Joe, the Honda Japan website has the following data: SC35-1000583～SC35-1000789 (207 units) are affected by the recall. I have NO idea if those numbers are restricted to the JP market, or include units for non-Japan markets, and the information is limited. They were apparently produced during the Mar. 7 2002 - to - Aug. 28 2003 period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that japanese law stated that they are not allowed to sell >750cc bikes from new, domestically. I think there are companies who send crates of bikes for a tour of a harbour outside national boundaries and then bring em back for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are companies who send crates of bikes for a tour of a harbour outside national boundaries and then bring em back for sale That's funny! Umm, no, you can buy it new, but domestic makers voluntarily "restrict" the bikes to output no more than 100 ps or so (they did that to keep the laws from prohibiting the manufacture/sale of bikes w/more than 100 ps). I did buy my XX brand new and it was JP spec when I got it - last dyno tagged it at 131 ps, but I'm still running the JP spec ECU, so a US/EU spec ECU would boost that... Another project for another time. Considering the preference for Japanese to avoid used goods, I can't imagine any companies make money by sending new JP spec bikes overseas, taking the loss of price Re: depreciation, maintenance, etc. and then shipping them back to JP, and still be able to flip a profit... :roll: FWIW, my bike cost about $9,500 including Givi Wing Rack and 2x36e cases, and derestriction work. Current exchange rates would put it closer to $10,500, +/-... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2equis Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 But yet Harley won't recall thousands of their EVO motors for catastrophic cam bearing failure which can lock a motor up solid while riding. WTF!?!?!? Props to Honda for stepping up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azxx Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 But yet Harley won't recall thousands of their EVO motors for catastrophic cam bearing failure which can lock a motor up solid while riding. WTF!?!?!? Props to Honda for stepping up!!! A lock up isn't that critical at the normal speeds the HD is operated at, around 25mph from bar to shop and back to bar.

Unknown until you call... the VINs that I posted may or may not be Japan-only numbers, and it would be folly to assume so... Only after you call will you know if you are right.

Brian03XX Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I was just looking at the STN web site they are talking about it too. Some one had the US#'s I think IM OK. Also if bike is under recall Honda is going to send a letter with all the repair info. But I would still like to talk to some one at Honda. How to go about makeimg that phone call? :???: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"ok, but the point remains that a bird with 100 ponies is not actually a bird Actually, the point of contention that you raised was, and remains, that the sale of bikes with a displacement in excess of 750 cc was prohibited by law. And, I can assure you that the above point of contention, as it was postulated, is bunk. Whether your classification of a 1137 cc Honda CBR1100XX is a bird or not by the PS output of it, well, I'm mature enough to say it doesn't matter... There are so many aftermarket products here that de-restrict and boost bike performance that the 100 ps barrier that is voluntarily met by makers is, effectively, ineffective.

And my bike is going to fall under the recall. The guy on the phone was nice and helpful, should be getting a letter soon. Now I have to go to my local Honda dealer and have some 18 year old kid work on my brakes. It will take all day and then they will have to order parts and I will have to wasted one more day. Any thought out there? Honda should let the dealers know about it and order the parts to have on hand!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I got the notice, I didn't originally think my VIN fell into the range, but I guess if Honda says so. I highly doubt I will do much about it. If I see a leak maybe, but I don't too much care about the rear brake anyways. I do not have a dealership in my area that I would trust to do anything save sell me an oil filter. They either have a bunch of kids working there that could care less about their jobs or their performance at their said jobs, or older guys who are dam near incompetent.
