Service bulletin SERVICE BULLEITN
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

| Service Bulletin | 2017-07-12. Service bulletin. Service bulletin - Honda Motor Co., Ltd is conducting a Safety Recall of motorcycles and scooters listed in the AFFECTED UNITS section of this bulletin. Honda has determined that a defect within certain starter relay switch assemblies can cause an increase in resistance at the main fuse, potentially interrupting battery voltage to the electrical system which can cause the engine to A) not start or B) stall while riding. In an extreme case, the increased resistance at the main fuse may cause the starter relay switch to catch on fire. |

| DLR MSG - MC - E | 2017-05-19. Service bulletin. DEALER MESSAGE - HONDA IS EXPANDING SOME VIN RANGES WITHIN THE EXISTING SAFETY RECALL OF MULTIPLE MODELS (S/B MULTI-MODEL: STARTER RELAY SWITCH #1 REVISED: AUGUST 2015) ORIGINALLY LAUNCHED JULY 2015. HONDA HAS DETERMINED THERE MAY BE A DEFECT WITHIN THE STARTER RELAY SWITCH (STARTER MAGNETIC SWITCH) ASSEMBLY THAT CAN CAUSE AN INCREASE IN RESISTANCE ACROSS THE MAIN FUSE, POTENTIALLY INTERRUPTING BATTERY VOLTAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AN INTERRUPTION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BATTERY VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO A) NOT START OR B) STALL WHILE RIDING. IN AN EXTREME CASE, THE INCREASED RESISTANCE AT THE MAIN FUSE CAN CAUSE THE STARTER RELAY SWITCH TO CATCH ON FIRE. AN ENGINE THAT STALLS WHILE RIDING INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
