What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the rear reflex reflector lens could have a defect that could reduce the amount of light that is reflected. As a result, the reflector may not meet the requirements of Canadian regulations.

Why it matters

A reflector that is difficult to see may make the motorcycle less visible to others. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, replace the rear reflex reflector.
