Concern

Steering Lock Screw Failure

Defect, as DVSA words it

For affected machines the screw fixing the steering lock to the bottom bridge was not tightened enough and in some cases it can loosen during riding and become caught in the steering area making the steering impossible to operate and causing a fall or the steering lock to become detached.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Campaign 3S4 – Temporary Repair - Until parts allocation is confirmed late May 2026 – Carry out inspection of steering lock free play with the following outcomes:- Free play detected: Replace Lock Screws. No free play detected: Retailer should mark the screw heads and instruct the customer to check the marks before each ride. If marks do not align the customer should immediately stop riding and contact their nearest Honda Authorized Retailer for advice. Campaign. 3RY – Final Repair - Following sufficient parts allocation- Replacement of the steering lock screw will be performed free of charge to all affected units. During replacement a thread-locking agent will be applied and screws tightened to the specified torque.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
