American Honda is expanding its recall of approximately 34,000 Honda Talon 1000 S2 and S4 side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) from model years 2019, 2020, and 2021. The vehicles were sold in red, blue, green, gray, and yellow with "HONDA" printed on the front, sides, and rear and "Talon" on the side labels. The recall expansion adds 2,000 units to a previous recall because a screw in the engine's intake funnel can loosen and enter the engine, causing sudden failure. The firm has received 18 reports of incidents, including one crash that resulted in minor injuries. Owners should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair.
A screw in the intake funnel band can loosen and be sucked into the engine, causing the engine to fail suddenly. If the engine fails while the vehicle is in motion, it can lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash and injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled recreational off-highway vehicles and contact an authorized Honda Powersports dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair, which includes proper tightening and thread deformation of the intake funnel screw. American Honda is contacting all known purchasers directly.
