Concern

Rear brake may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

The rear brake pipe joint may not have been sufficiently tightened when the machine was manufactured. Continuous use of the rear brake and vibration from riding may cause the brake pipe joint to leak brake fluid. Consequently when the rear brake lever is applied poor/no brake operation will result and in the worst case scenario a crash may occur.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and for all affected units the tightening torque of the pipe joint bolt will be checked if it passes inspection then fluid level will be topped up only if it fails then the bolt will be re-torqued and the brake system will be bled.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Honda Motorcycles elsewhere in this register

Honda Motorcycles is named on 108 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: REAR BRAKE MAY FAIL

4 notices in this register name REAR BRAKE MAY FAIL. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

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.
