What's wrong?
The bank angle sensor on the 2010-2011 Honda VT750 is an electrical sensor that watches the motorcycle's angle. In a real tip-over, it tells the engine control unit that the motorcycle is down. That signal shuts the engine off so the motorcycle is not running while it is on its side.
On affected VT750 motorcycles, the bank angle sensor was manufactured incorrectly. The defect lets the sensor send an erroneous bank-angle reading while the motorcycle is upright. The engine control unit treats that bad signal like a tip-over signal and shuts the engine off. The result is an engine stall during normal riding.
There is no warning sign before failure. The recall summary does not describe a dashboard alert, unusual sound, or visible part change before the stall. If the engine stalls while riding, treat the motorcycle as affected until a Honda dealer confirms the VIN and completes the free recall repair.
Who's affected?
The listed manufacturing span runs from June 25, 2009, through March 28, 2011, across the 2010 and 2011 VT750 model years.

What's the safety risk?
An engine stall while riding can take power away without enough time to react and increases the risk of a crash. If the motorcycle stalls, get out of traffic as safely as you can and arrange service before riding again. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Honda VT750 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda motorcycle dealer to schedule the free bank-angle-sensor replacement that fixes the false reading that can stall the engine.
- Bring the recall notice if Honda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 11V310 when you call.
- Call Honda motorcycle customer service at 1-866-784-1870 with questions about scheduling or parts.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete, and pull over safely if the engine stalls.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician replaces the affected bank angle sensor. That sensor helps the motorcycle recognize its lean angle; if it sends the wrong reading, the engine can stall. Honda's filed remedy is sensor replacement, free under the recall, and the recall repair began on June 27, 2011. If your VIN is included, ask the dealer to confirm the sensor replacement is complete.
