Concern

Bottom of the fuel tank may corrode and allow fuel to leak

Defect, as DVSA words it

The distance between the packing holder and the filler of the fuel tank cap is unsuitable. If the tank cap packing becomes swollen and climbs over the filler sealing failure occurs. When the fuel level is high in that condition if rapid acceleration and deceleration are repeated the fuel level will fluctuate making fuel leak from the gap between the filler mouth and the fuel tank cap packing. The leaked fuel will then be discharged onto the road surface via the drain tube. The fact that fuel leakage may occur under these conditions may constitute a violation of regulations. In addition to this if water from washing the unit enters inside the fuel tank from the sealing area the engine may malfunction. In the worst case the bottom of the fuel tank may corrode and if it is continued to be used in that state corrosion would progress and fuel may leak from the tank.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Fuel tank caps for all the vehicles are to be replaced with modified parts. At the same time Honda will inspect how well the caps are sealed and if water is inside the tanks. If water is found in tanks Honda will replace fuel tanks fuel pumps and injectors for steel fuel tanks and fuel pumps and injectors for titanium fuel tanks. Titanium fuel tanks do not get rusty and do not have to be replaced.

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 CBR1000 in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Honda Motorcycles CBR1000 is named on 1 Israeli notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

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.

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.
