Dear Honda Motorcycle Dealer: SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AFFECTED UNITS: All 2002-2005 VFR800/VFR800A Motorcycles American Honda is conducting a SAFETY RECALL on affected models per the description above. The recall will correct a defect that exists in the wiring harness of 2002-2005 model year VFR800 motorcycles. In limited circumstances, the ground wire terminals inside the connectors between the main wiring and fairing subharness can overheat, resulting in the melting of the connector and a loss of power to various circuits. As a result, a loss of critical lighting or engine power could occur without warning, which could result in a crash. Effective immediately YOU MUST NOT SELL any affected model in either your new or used motorcycle inventory until the required repair has been completed. Please make sure ALL DEPARTMENTS in your dealership - Parts, Sales, and Service - are made aware of this action. Any sale of an affected motorcycle after receiving this notice and prior to the required repair is a violation of Federal law. The instructions, procedures, and parts necessary to repair affected motorcycles will be made available to your dealership as soon as possible. Date-specific information as to each of these items will be sent to you the week of September 10, 2007. American Honda will mail a notice of this Recall to owners of all affected motorcycles beginning September 10, 2007. If you have recently sold an affected model, please submit the warranty registration information. If you have any further questions, please contact either American Honda’s Techline or your District Service Manager.
