Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles Recalled by American Honda Due to Crash and Injury Hazards (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

American Honda is recalling approximately 118,600 Pioneer 700 and Pioneer 1000 Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles (ROVs) because the steering system can fail. The vehicles, sold between August 2015 and March 2020, can lose steering control, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Honda has received 8 reports of steering issues, though no accidents or injuries have been reported. Affected models were sold in red, blue, green, gray, and yellow at Honda Powersports dealers nationwide.

Risk

The ROVs can develop play in the steering or lose steering control entirely while in operation. This mechanical failure prevents the driver from safely navigating the vehicle, posing a direct risk of collision and serious injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's model name (Pioneer 700 or Pioneer 1000) on the labels located on both sides of the vehicle, and locate your 17-digit Serial Number (VIN) stamped on the frame at the left rear, below the tilt-up bed or seat.
  2. Immediately stop using the recalled ROVs if your VIN falls within the affected ranges for Model Years 2016 through 2020.
  3. Contact an authorized Honda Powersports dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair of the steering system. You can find a dealer by visiting www.powersports.honda.com.
  4. For additional questions, contact American Honda at 866-784-1870 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, or visit their recall website online.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have further concerns about this recall.
