Plain-English summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2010 VT1300CR, VT1300CRA, and VT1300CT motorcycles. These vehicles were manufactured between December 17, 2009, and May 24, 2010. The recall involves 3,184 units that fail to conform to certification requirements of Part 567 due to an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) label.

Owners will be mailed a letter containing a durable correction sticker and installation instructions. Owners may install the sticker themselves or take the motorcycle to a Honda dealer to have the corrected label applied free of charge. The safety recall began on August 20, 2010.
