Honda issues motorcycle recall due to fuel leak

Honda has issued a recall on certain 207 Honda VT1300CX Fury motorcycles and 2010 and 2016 Honda VT1300CX Fury motorcycles that received a replacement fuel tank. This recall affects 20 units.

In the affected models, the fuel tank may be missing welds around the mounting bracket. If the welds are missing, the mounting bracket can separate from the tank, allowing fuel to leak and increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source. 

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel tank welds and, as necessary, replace the fuel tank, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in December 2017. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 888/234-2138.
