SAFETY RECALL
2010-2016 VT750 SERIES - BANK ANGLE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
(This bulletin supersedes VT750C/C2B #5, dated June 2011)
Honda is launching a Safety Recall of 20102016 model year VT750C/CA/CS, VT750C2/
C2F/C2S, and VT750C2B motorcycles for a
potentially defective bank angle sensor.
Honda has determined that continuous
engine vibration may cause the bank angle
sensor wires to break, resulting an open circuit in the bank angle sensor. If an open in the
bank angle sensor electrical circuit develops,
the engine may stall.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
During the month of January 2016, Honda will
mail a letter to all owners of affected motorcycles informing them that their motorcycle is
being recalled for a safety related defect. The
customer will be made aware of the safety
risk and advised to have a Honda dealer
replace the bank angle sensor.

An updated bank angle sensor kit is available
to correct this condition.
Safety Consequence
An engine that stalls while riding increases
the risk of a crash.
UNITS AFFECTED BY S/B VT750C/C2B #5
Some models within the affected VIN range
for this campaign were previously recalled to
replace the bank angle sensor. This is a new
recall for a different type of failure. Be sure to
apply this recall repair to any units also
affected by S/B VT750C/C2B #5.

DEALER INVENTORY
Do not sell any un-repaired units.
According to federal law, any affected units in
your new inventory cannot be sold or leased
until they are repaired with a replacement
bank angle sensor, and Honda policy prohibits the sale of new or used un-repaired units.
To search for applicable recalls on a specific
unit, refer to Unit Information on iN.
To manage your affected inventory, use eResponsibility Report on iN.
See AFFECTED UNITS on Pages 2 and 3.
