Filing in context
The Other devices is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 2 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 4 Honda notifications from 2026 in this archive. For scale, 995 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 2 years and 3 months.
Defect
In the locking device, the bolt securing the handlebar lock is improperly tightened during assembly, resulting in insufficient clamping force in some units. Continued use causes the bolt to loosen, preventing the handlebar from being locked when the vehicle is parked. Additionally, if the displaced bolt becomes wedged in the frame, the handlebar may lose the ability to steer. In the worst case, this may cause the vehicle to fall over.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the handlebar lock securing bolt with a new part and tighten it to the specified torque value. Note: Because parts procurement requires additional time, owners will be notified of the defect in the interim and contacted again once parts are available.

状況
施錠装置において、ハンドルロックを固定するボルトの締付け方法が不適切なため、ボルトの締結力が不足しているものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、ボルトが緩み停車時にハンドルがロックできないおそれがある。また、外れたボルトがフレームに挟まると、最悪の場合、ハンドルが転舵できず転倒するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ハンドルロック締付けボルトを新品に交換し、規定トルクで締め付ける。なお、部品の準備に時間を要することから、不具合内容を周知し、準備でき次第、改めて連絡する。
