I RECEIVED A WARANTEE RECALL NOTICE FOR MY HONDA CB300R MOTORCYCLE EARLY AUGUST. IT IS NOW MIDDLE,LATE SEPT. ALMOST 60 DAYS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPAIRED AS DESCRIBED ON HONDA SAFTEY RECALL NOTICE NHTSA RECALL 16V-528 AT THE HONDA LOCATION AT 14827 N CAVE CREEK RD. PHOENIX AZ. 85032. 602 996 9280. THE SERVICE DEPT. TECH DERRICK, WAS VERY HELPFUL AND HE INFORMED ME THAT HONDA HAD TO SEND A REPAIR KIT TO THEM. HE SAID HONDA CORPORATE WAS VERY SLOW IN RESPONSE TO THIS REPAIR REQUEST BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SERVICE THEIR UNSOLD STOCK FIRST. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING AND WENT BACK AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA CORPORATE WAS NOT AS INTERESTED IN HELPING THE REPAIR AS GETTING THE STOCK BIKES SOLD. THEY WERE MORE OF THE ATTITUDE WHEN THE MOTOR DOES EXPLODE AND THE ENGINE SEIZES WE WILL REPAIR IT. THIS IS NOT THEIR SERVICE FAULT AS HE SAID HE WOULD LOVE TO GET MY MOTOR FIXED BUT CORP WAS BEING POOR ABOUT IT. THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE CAUSING THE RIDER POSSIBLE HARM.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
