## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN SCOOTERS, EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE LOWER HANDLEBAR CLAMP AND HANDLEBAR HOLDER CREATES STRESS THAT CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE HANDLEBAR TO LOOSEN OR DETACH.


## What can happen

THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL TWO LOWER HANDLEBAR CLAMPS, ADD WASHERS BETWEEN THE LOWER CLAMPS AND HANDLEBAR HOLDER, AND INSTALL NEW LOCKNUTS.   OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON  DECEMBER 11, 2003.    OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1\-866\-784\-1870.


## Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1\-888\-DASH\-2\-DOT \(1\-888\-327\-4236\).
