Honda is recalling 3,184 2010 VT1300CRA, VT1300CR, and VT1300CT motorcycles under recall 10V369 because the gross axle weight rating label is wrong.

What's wrong?
The certification label on the 2010 Honda VT1300CRA, VT1300CR, and VT1300CT motorcycles is the factory label that lists required weight information. One item on that label is the gross axle weight rating, or GAWR, which tells an owner or service technician the maximum certified weight each axle is rated to carry.
In NHTSA campaign 10V369, the defect is the printed rating itself. The GAWR on the label is incorrect, so the motorcycle does not match federal certification label requirements. The recall summary does not describe a broken axle, brake, tire, or other mechanical part. It identifies incorrect required information on the label.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a labeling error, so an owner is not expected to feel, hear, or see a riding symptom before checking whether the motorcycle is included.
Who's affected?
Covers three VT1300 variants from the 2010 model year, all tied to the vehicle label.
| 2010 Honda VT1300CRA | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2010 Honda VT1300CR | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2010 Honda VT1300CT | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 3,184 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect weight label can make the motorcycle appear rated to carry more weight than Honda certified. Loading it beyond its certified limit creates an overloaded condition and increases the risk of a crash. Until the label is corrected, do not rely on the incorrect carrying capacity information. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Honda VT1300CRA, VT1300CR, or VT1300CT is included in this recall.
- Look for Honda's mailed correction sticker and installation instructions for the GAWR certification label.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer if you want the corrected GAWR label applied for free.
- Bring the recall notice or sticker packet if you have it, and reference recall number 10V369 when you call.
- Avoid loading the motorcycle above the corrected weight rating until the label information is fixed.
What happens at the repair
Owners are sent a durable correction sticker and installation instructions for the certification label. The issue is the gross axle weight rating printed on the label, not a part the dealer removes from the motorcycle. If you prefer dealer installation, a Honda technician applies the corrected label free of charge. Bring the letter and sticker with the motorcycle so the service desk can match the recall work to your VIN and install the label in the correct location.

Recall 10V369 covers 3,184 2010 Honda VT1300CRA, VT1300CR, and VT1300CT motorcycles with an incorrect gross axle weight rating label. The wrong rating can make the motorcycle appear certified to carry more weight than allowed, which can lead to overloading and increased crash risk.
What should I do if my 2010 Honda VT1300CRA, VT1300CR, or VT1300CT is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorcycle is included in recall 10V369. If it is, use the durable correction sticker and instructions Honda mailed, or contact a franchised Honda dealer to have the corrected label applied for free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to provide the recall remedy at no cost. Honda dealers will apply the corrected certification label free of charge if you prefer dealer installation instead of applying the mailed sticker yourself.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is overloading. The incorrect gross axle weight rating can lead an owner to load the motorcycle beyond its certified capacity. An overloaded motorcycle can be harder to control, increasing the risk of a crash.
What if I bought this Honda motorcycle used?
