What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing defect, moisture may enter the front and rear wheel speed sensors. If the sensors are exposed to moisture ingress:
• the speedometer may not display as intended resulting in the rider unable to determine the speed of the vehicle;
• the Antilock Brake System (ABS) may be triggered and cause unintended brake application whilst riding; and
• the traction control (TC) system might incorrectly perceive a difference in wheel speed between the front and rear wheels, causing a loss of driving force even when the throttle is opened.
Note: Hazard warning lights may appear on the instrument cluster to alert the rider that multiple vehicle functions are not fully operational.

What are the hazards?
If the rider is unable to determine the speed of the vehicle or an unintended brake action is applied whilst riding and/or a loss of driving force occurs it can lead to a loss of vehicle control whilst riding. This increases the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to rider(s) and other road users.
What should consumers do?
Honda is requesting owners to stop using the bike immediately and contact their nearest authorised Honda motorcycle dealer to arrange for the motorcycle to be inspected and repaired, free of charge.
