Filing in context
The Engine is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 72 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 32 Honda notifications from 2025 in this archive. For scale, 2,015 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 10 months.
Defect
Repeatedly decelerating with engine braking from high engine speeds can draw engine oil into the combustion chamber, where it burns and increases overall oil consumption. Continued operation under these conditions causes insufficient lubrication, producing abnormal noise. In the worst case, the engine may sustain damage while the vehicle is moving, causing the rear wheel to lock and the vehicle to fall.
Corrective action
As an immediate measure on all vehicles, inspect the engine oil level and replenish to the specified value if low, and repair the engine if any abnormality is found. Owners will be notified of the defect, cautioned to check engine oil levels regularly, and a caution label will be affixed to the vehicle. A permanent corrective measure will be implemented once determined.

状況
エンジンを高回転の状態からエンジンブレーキによる減速を繰り返すと、エンジンオイルが燃焼室まで吸い上げられて燃焼し、オイル消費量が増えることがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、オイルの潤滑不良で異音が発生し、最悪の場合、走行中にエンジンが破損し、後輪がロックして転倒するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当面の措置として、エンジンオイル量を点検し不足していれば規定量まで補充して、エンジンに異常がある場合は修理する。また、使用者に不具合内容を通知し、エンジンオイル量の点検を注意喚起するとともに、車両へ注意ラベルを貼り付ける。なお、対策が決定次第、改善措置を実施する。
