An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda CB1300 SUPER FOUR, CB1300 SUPER BOLD'OR, CB1300P) - Repair. Defects in electrical equipment (generator) and vehicle body (grounding nut). ■ Defective components: ① Electrical equipment (generator), ② Vehicle body (grounding nut). ■ Noncompliant conditions and causes: ① In the generator, the rib height inside the left crankcase cover, where the stator coil is installed, is unsuitable. If the coil wire contacts the rib, it may be damaged and short-circuit. The battery may therefore become insufficiently charged, and continued use may cause the engine to stop while driving and prevent restarting. ② On emergency vehicles, an unsuitable jig used when painting the threaded portion of the grounding nut at the rear of the vehicle body has allowed paint to adhere to the threads on some vehicles. An oxide film may consequently form between the grounding nut and grounding bolt, increasing electrical resistance and causing poor electrical continuity. This may prevent the warning lights from illuminating, the siren from sounding, and the radio from being used. Published 2022-12-08.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 5255 ■ Corrective measures: ① On all vehicles, replace the left crankcase cover with an improved part and replace the stator coil with a new one. On some vehicles, modify the rib concerned. ② On all vehicles, re-tap the threads of the grounding nut at the rear of the vehicle body.
