Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain accessory rear trunk bases used to mount accessory trunks on Honda PCX125 and PCX150 scooters. The affected part numbers are 08L71-K35-J00, 08L70-KZY-910, and 81200-KWN-780.

The defect involves the locking hook of the accessory removable trunk, which may not fully engage with the trunk mounting base. This failure allows the trunk to inadvertently detach. If the trunk detaches while riding, it may become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy parts are not currently available. Honda will send owners an interim notification instructing them not to use the trunk or to visit a dealer for a temporary remedy. The recall began in August 2016, but the manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
