TOKYO, Nov 01 (News On Japan) –
Honda Motor Co. has filed a recall with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism for over 650,000 bikes as a result of danger of rear wheels locking from oil leaks, doubtlessly resulting in accidents.
The recall targets six fashions manufactured between December 2013 and September this 12 months in Japan and Vietnam. The affected fashions embrace Honda’s “Tact,” “Giorno,” and “Dunk,” in addition to Yamaha-branded “JOG,” “JOG Deluxe,” and “Vino,” totaling 650,290 models.
According to the Ministry, inadequate sealing within the casing that homes the transmission could trigger oil to leak, which may lock the rear wheel in extreme circumstances.
To date, 63 incidents of malfunction have been reported, with two leading to falls, although no accidents had been reported.
Additionally, the corporate has issued a recall for about 430,000 models resulting from improper meeting of brake levers, which may trigger brake lights to malfunction and stop engine startup.
