What are the defects?
Due to a software issue in the ECM, the system that prevents the front wheel from leaving the road under acceleration (wheelie control), may activate whilst operating the throttle, causing an acceleration failure.
What are the hazards?
If this occurs there is risk of losing balance and falling. This could potentially result in injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Honda Motorcycle dealer to schedule an appointment to have the software updated, free of charge.
