Description of the basis for the determination of the recall population:

The recall population was determined based on manufacturing records. The manufacturing range reflects all possible vehicles that could potentially experience the problem.

             

Description of how the vehicles being recalled differ from similar vehicles not included in the recall:

All vehicles referenced above within the production range of January 2020 through February 2021 are affected. As a process improvement effort, the rear reflector supplier has corrected the manufacturing process and implemented a final inspection of the reflectors.

Identification of affected component:

Component: Reflex Reflector
Part No.: 33741-KPL-9021-M1

Country of Origin: India
Manufacturer: FIEM Industries Limited

 

573.6(c)(3)

Total number of potentially affected vehicles: 28,528

 

573.6(c)(4)

Percentage of affected vehicles that contain the noncompliance: 100%

 

573.6(c)(5)

Noncompliance description:

Due to a change in the manufacturing process, the injection molding cycle time for the affected vehicles’ rear reflector lens was shortened, resulting in reflectors having lower photometric performance than intended. As a result, the reflectors may not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 108 – Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment, potentially reducing vehicle visibility and increasing the risk of a crash and injury.

 

573.6(c)(7)

Determination of noncompliance:

December 2020

After a compliance test by Korean motor vehicle authorities on a sampling of rear reflectors, HondaeBay logo Korea was informed that the rear reflectors of a Korean market vehicle were noncompliant.

 

December 2020 – January 2021

HondaeBay logo and the rear reflector supplier performed internal tests to further investigate the noncompliance and confirmed that the rear reflectors were noncompliant because of a shortened injection molding cycle time of the reflector lens.

 

January – March 2021

HondaeBay logo investigated the affected population and whether the affected models were out of compliance under other countries’ regulations.

 

May 17, 2021

HondaeBay logo determined that an FMVSS noncompliance existed on the referenced models and decided to conduct a noncompliance recall.

 

573.6(c)(8)(i)

Program for remedying the noncompliance:

Registered owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized HondaeBay logo Powersports dealer. The dealer will replace the rear reflector for free. Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense will be eligible for reimbursement, in accord with the recall reimbursement plan on file with NHTSA.

 

573.6(c)(8)(ii)

The estimated date to start notification to dealers: May 24, 2021

The estimated date to start notifications to owners: July 23, 2021

 

573.6(c)(10)

Representative copies of all notices, bulletins, and other communications: A copy of the dealer service bulletin, the final owner notification letter, and other dealer communication will be submitted to your office as soon as possible.

A draft of the owner notification letter will be submitted to your office as soon as possible.
