Manufactured From: SEP 1999 To: MAY 2000

Summary:

Vehicle Description: Motorcycles. An improper service procedure that may be used during routine maintenance can damage a pressurized fuel hose. Lifting the front of the fuel tank beyond a certain point can stress and damage the hose. The internally damaged hose could eventually crack, resulting in a high-pressure fuel leak.

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Dealers will replace the fuel hose with a longer fuel hose. Owner notification is expected to begin during late September 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Honda at 1-310-532-9811. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

Component: POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Manufacturer: AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.
Mfg. Campaign #: 00V403000
Year: 2000
Make: HONDA MOTORCYCLE
Model: CBR929RR
Potential Number of Units Affected: 8696
Manufactured From: SEP 1999 To: MAY 2000
Year of Recall: '00
Type of Report: Vehicle
Summary:

Vehicle Description: Motorcycles. When the clutch lever is released to the friction point, but the lever is not completely released to fully engage the clutch, strong clutch disk vibration may occur at the higher engine rpms used for rapid or race-type starts. This stress can cause the clutch to fail.

This failure results in several large sections cracking and eventually separating from the clutch outer. If this occurs, rear lock-up is possible if a broken piece is caught in the primary drive gea. Also, the engine could lose primary ignition and stop suddenly if a broken piece damages the pulsar rotor; or engine oil could leak from the crankcase, if a broken piece is forced through the crankcase. The spilled oil could cause the rear wheel to lose traction and the motorcycle could crash.

Dealers will install a clutch kit that includes a redesigned outer clutch basket, judder spring, clutch lifter lever, and other parts intended to reduce stress on the clutch. Owner notification is expected to begin during January 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Honda at 1-310-783-3772.

Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

WARNING !

Do not perform rapid, high-rpm starts until your CBR929RR has been repaired.

Sudden lock-up of the rear wheel, unexpected engine stopping or loss of traction at the rear wheel could result in a crash in which you could be seriously hurt or killed.
