Recall-NHTSA 2002-05 VFR800 Interceptor

I ran a search for this NHTSA Recall and found no thread, so here's the August, 2007 Recall info and related links:

NHTSA Recall No.07V35900
Model Years 2002 -2005
No. of Units Involved: 6952

Problem: The fairing sub-harness (a section of the main wiring harness) transfers the electrical grounding load of the headlights, front turn signals, instrument panel and various relays to the main wiring harness via an 18 pin connector. Under certain conditions, the ground-wire terminals inside the connector can overheat, resulting in melting of the connector and a loss of power to various circuits. as a result, a loss of critical lighting or engine power may occur without warning, which could cause a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will install a redesigned sub-harness. If necessary, the main wiring harness will also be replaced. Owners not receiving this free remedy may contact Honda at 866-784-1870.

Hope this is helpful to all you 2002 - 2005 VFR riders searching for answers to electrical gremlins. Pass it on.

Ride Safe- GoVFR
