RecallScope risk estimate:HighCAA Japan

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda BENLY eⅡMD and 5 other models) - Repair. Defect in electrical wiring (main harness). ■ Defective component (part name): Electrical wiring (main harness). ■ Details and cause of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: Because instructions for removing spatter* during frame welding were inappropriate, spatter remains in the main harness routing area on some vehicles. Consequently, the harness contacts the spatter, and continued use may wear away the wire insulation. If the exposed conductors short-circuit, the headlights, turn signals, speedometer and other equipment may malfunction, or the vehicle may become unable to run. *Metal particles and similar material generated during welding that adhere to the frame. Published 2025-07-17.

What to do now

(Recall notification number) 外-4043. ■ Corrective measures: Inspect the main harness for damage on all vehicles and add protective material (grommets, etc.). If the main harness is damaged, replace it with an improved part. Because preparing the main harnesses will take time, another notification will be sent once they are ready.
