What's wrong?
The tire information label on the 2010 Honda NT700 is the specification sticker mounted on the swingarm. It tells an owner or service technician which tire size belongs on the motorcycle and what air pressure Honda specifies. That label is supposed to be the quick reference before tire service or pressure checks.
On affected NT700 motorcycles, the label can show the wrong tire size and tire pressure information. The recall defect is the printed guidance on the label, not a failed tire, wheel, or swingarm. If an owner or shop follows the incorrect label instead of the correct Honda specifications, the motorcycle can be serviced with the wrong tire information.
There is no warning sign before failure because the problem is in the label itself. The motorcycle will not alert you that the sticker is wrong, so the risk comes from relying on the incorrect tire size or pressure during service.

Not every 2010 Honda NT700 motorcycle is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Improper tire inflation can change vehicle handling and lead to premature tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Confirm your VIN, follow the tire pressure label once corrected, and schedule dealer help if you want the label installed. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Honda NT700 is included in this recall.
- Use the corrected Honda tire information label and installation instructions; Honda began sending the recall material on November 10, 2011.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer if you want the corrected tire information label installed for free.
- Reference recall number 11V526 when you call, and ask Honda at 1-866-784-1870 if you did not receive the label.
- Check tire size and air pressure against the corrected label before riding, since incorrect inflation affects handling and increases crash risk.
What happens at the repair
Honda's remedy is a corrected tire information label for the swingarm, along with installation instructions. Once the dealer remedy is available for your VIN, a Honda technician installs the corrected label free of charge if you choose dealer installation instead of applying the label yourself. The label matters because it gives the tire size and air pressure specifications the owner relies on before riding. The source does not list a reimbursement program for this recall, so there is no separate reimbursement step to describe here.
