I WAS NOTIFIED OF SAFETY RECALL UPON INITIAL TITLING OF MY BIKE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY BIKE TO MY NEAREST HONDA SERVICE CENTER IN TAMPA, "EXTREME POWERSPORTS" . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASKED ME TO RETURN IN A WEEK AND SAID IT WAS SAFE TO RIDE. I RETURNED ON AGREED DATE & TIME TO HAVE THE RECALL ADDRESSED. AFTER A FEW HOURS I RECEIVED A CALL TO PICK UP MY BIKE AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK MY BIKE DID NOT FAIL THE HONDA TEST, SO IT WAS SAFE. NOW A YEAR LATER I FIND THE EXACT LEAKING VENT LINE THAT IS A SAFETY RECALL HAS FAILED AS HONDA SAID IT WOULD. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT EXTREME POWERSPORTS DID NOT PROPERLY INSPECT THE ISSUE. IN FACT THE TECH WA CAUGHT IN A LIE ABOUT MY BIKE FALLING OFF THE LIFT THEY HAD MY BIKE ON. I HAVE DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT AND HAVE VERBAL STATEMENT FROM SERVICE MANAGER STATING MY BIKE WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE TECH FAILED TO SECURE THE MOTORCYCLE. EXTREME POWESPORTS ALSO FAILED TO UPDATE THE DATABASE ABOUT PERFORMING THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE LACK OF A REQUIRED TOOL TO PERFORM SAID REPAIR. THE PARTS DESK CLERK INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A TOOL ON SITE. I WILL BE HIRING A ATTORNEY AND SEEKING DAMAGES AND LEGAL FEES
CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES HAVE AN IMPROPER WELDED VENT PIPE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK. DUE TO VIBRATION THE IMPROPERLY WELDED TANKS MAY CRACK AND DRIP FUEL.

NHTSA opened Audit Query (AQ) 12-001 to determine whether Southern Honda Powersports (Southern Honda) of Chattanooga, Tennessee, had complied with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 (Safety Act) and its implementing regulations. The Safety Act requires, among other things, that a motor vehicle or equipment manufacturer notify its dealers of defects related to motor vehicle safety and non-compliances with federal motor vehicle safety standards.In turn, a dealer may not sell and deliver a new vehicle subject to a recall unless the recall remedy has been performed.(see 49 U.S.C. 30120(i); 49 C.F.R. 573.11)NHTSA issued an information request to Southern Honda on May 14, 2012 to which they responded on July 6, 2012.NHTSA?s inquiry led it to believe that Southern Honda had failed to complete the requirements of five recalls that required inspections and/or repairs of motorcycles prior to their sale or delivery.NHTSA believes that 329 motorcycles affected by recalls had not been inspected and/or repaired prior to their sale and delivery between 2007 and 2012.The agency is unaware of any deaths or injuries involving these vehicles.NHTSA concluded that it had a potential civil penalty claim against Southern Honda for violations of the Safety Act.Southern Honda denied any violations of the Safety Act.In order to settle this matter, Southern Honda agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $125,000, to be paid in five annual installments.This AQ is closed.
