Defect description

Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 NC700XDC and NC700XC motorcycles. Some motorcycles may be equipped with drive chains that contain outer drive plates that were improperly heat-treated, resulting in plate fracture during use.

Safety risk

If a plate fractures, the motorcycle can unexpectedly lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the drive chain, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 9, 2012. Owners may contact Honda Customer Service at 1-866-784-1870.

Owner complaints

A complaint is one person's report to a federal agency. It is not a finding.
