The defect
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 (CMX1100) motorcycles. The radiator cap may have been improperly formed during manufacturing, which could create an insufficient seal.
The risk
An insufficiently sealed radiator cap may leak or spray hot coolant, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the radiator cap and refill any lost coolant, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 22, 2022. Owners may contact Honda service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KN1.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
