An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda Tact and 4 other models) - Repair. Brake light (stop switch) defect. ■ Defective part (component name): Brake light (stop switch). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards, and its cause: Due to unsuitable grease material used to lubricate the stop switch contacts and improper assembly of the switch onto the brake lever bracket, arcing between the switch contacts may carbonize the grease. If use continues in this condition, heat generated by the carbonized grease may melt the resin inside the switch. A malfunction of the movable contact may then cause the brake light to illuminate even when the brake lever is not squeezed. Alternatively, poor electrical continuity at the contacts may prevent the brake light from illuminating when the brake lever is squeezed and may prevent the engine from starting. Published 2024-10-31.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 5569. ■ Corrective measures: On all vehicles, replace the stop switch with an improved part. Because preparing the parts will take time, information about the defect will be provided, and further contact will be made as soon as the parts are ready.
