NHTSA recall 04V290000
Structure › Motorcycle › Kickstand/center stand
Honda FSC600
The defect
On certain motorcycles, the main stand IS attached to the frame with two brackets, nuts and bolts. the nuts are spot-welded to the brackets. if clearance exists between the nut and bracket, the spot welds may be broken when the bolt IS torqued.
The risk
Over time, a bolt can loosen and fall out. the main stand could partially or completely detach from the frame, interfering with or damaging the rear wheel, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash without warning. A completely detached stand falling on the roadway also creates a hazard for other vehicles.
The remedy
Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts and locknuts. Owner notification began on june 29, 2004. owners should contact american honda at 1-800-999-1009.
