2002–2003 Honda FSC600 & 2002–2003 Honda Silver Wing recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain scooters, excessive clearance between the lower handlebar clamp and handlebar holder creates stress that CAN eventually cause the handlebar to loosen or detach.
💥 The risk
This could result in a loss of steering control, which could lead to a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install two lower handlebar clamps, add washers between the lower clamps and handlebar holder, and install new locknuts. Owner notification began on december 11, 2003. Owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
