Honda Recalls Off-Road Motorcycles

November 13, 2008    
American Honda Motor Co. is recalling about 13,000 off-road competition motorcycles. The weld on the right side of the swing arm can fail, causing the rider to lose control and crash. This could pose a risk of injury or death to riders.

Honda has received two reports of swing arms cracking. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves model year 2007-2008 Honda CRF150R/RB motocross competition motorcycles.

The cycles, made in Japan, were sold by Honda motorcycle dealers nationwide from September 2006 through October 2008 for between $4,300 and $4,400.

Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled off-road motorcycles and contact any Honda dealer to schedule a free repair. Registered owners of the recalled motorcycles are being sent a direct notice.

For additional information, contact Honda toll-free at (866) 784-1870 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.powersports.honda.com.
