The short version

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the fuel system, gasoline. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected motorcycles may experience the fuel level sensor float arm becoming deformed due to exposure to environmental and roadway conditions. This deformation can cause the float arm to separate from the fuel level sensor body.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the float arm separates from the sensor body, it can give the fuel meter inaccurate information, or in some cases the float may contact the positive and negative terminals causing an electrical short. Either condition may cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel level sensor assembly, free of charge.
