What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

American Honda Motor Co. is recalling certain 2014 model year Grom125 motorcycles manufactured between June 12, 2013, and September 24, 2014, and 2014 Forza-NSS300 and NSS300A motorcycles manufactured between June 18, 2013, and May 21, 2014. The recall involves 10,076 vehicles.
