- Campaign number: 16V661000
- Manufacturer's number: KC3, KC4
- Manufacturer: Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\)

## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Grom 125 motorcycles manufactured June 12, 2013, to September 8, 2015, and 2014\-2015 NSS300 \& NSS300A motorcycles manufactured June 18, 2013 to March 19, 2015.  The resin bracket inside the fuel pump of the affected motorcycles may swell and cause the pump impeller to seize.


## What can happen

If the fuel pump seizes, the motorcycle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump assembly with one that uses a metal bracket internally, free of charge. The recall began October 2016.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's numbers for this recall are KC3 and KC4.  Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V\-672.  Some, but not all, motorcycles that were remedied under that campaign are affected by this recall as well and need to have the fuel pump replaced again.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
