What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2013 Honda VT750, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE USED IN AUGUST OF 2014 AND SENT A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP LETTER TO MOTORCYCLE DIVISION, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO, TORRANCE CA AND SENT THEM ANOTHER CHANGE OF OWNER UPDATE IN MARCH 2016. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY HONDA CONCERNING THE FEBRUARY 2016 RECALL NHTSA 15V874000. HAD I NOT READ OF THE RECALL IN A MOTORCYCLE MAGAZINE, I WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. WHY HASN'T HONDA CONTACTED ME TO ADVISE OF THIS RECALL? WHAT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THESE RECALLS?
