Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 NC700XDC and NC700XC motorcycles. Some motorcycles may be equipped with drive chains that contain outer drive plates that were improperly heat-treated, resulting in plate fracture during use.
Risk: If a plate fractures, the motorcycle can unexpectedly lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the drive chain, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 9, 2012. Owners may contact Honda Customer Service at 1-866-784-1870. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
