Recall 07V-128: 2007 Honda CMX250C
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Mar 21, 2007, covering about 8,020 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motorcycles, the crankcase breather separator may be defected. During the molding process, the breather passage may have been blocked by a thin layer of the injected plastic material. This blockage will create a build-up of pressure inside the crankcase and may cause the left side engine seal to be pushed out of position and an oil leak will occur.
The risk
Oil leaking from the failed seal while riding can spray onto the rear tire or the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the breather separator, free of charge. The recall began on march 30, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
