2003 Honda ST1300 & 2003 Honda ST1300A recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the routing of some wire harnesses may allow a connector to contact and chafe against the fuel tank.
💥 The risk
Eventually the chafing may cause a short circuit and blow an ignition system fuse. The engine will then stall without warning, which could cause a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the wire harness connector position and check for damage. If any damage is found, dealers will replace the necessary parts. If no damage is found, dealers will reposition the connector, and make sure adequate clearance exists. The recall began on december 8, 2004. 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.)
