American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Models: Â Honda FSC600, 2002-2004
Number Potentially Involved: Â Â 7,494
Dates of Manufacture: Â November 2001 - December 2003
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 break when the bolt is torqued. 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. A completely detached stand falling on the roadway also creates a hazard for other vehicles.
Remedy: Â Dealers will install new brackets, longer bolts, and locknuts. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
