NHTSA Campaign Id 07V128000; Date: Mar. 21, 2007
Oil leaking from the failed seal while riding can spray onto the rear tire or the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
Recalled Vehicles:2007 Honda Cmx250c
Component: Engine And Engine Cooling
Manufactured by: Honda (american Honda Motor Co. )
Affected Units:: 8,020
Recall Summary: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.
How to 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.
