Honda Recalls 2014-2015 Grom and NSS300 Motorcycles for Fuel Pump Defect

Honda is recalling 2014-2015 Grom 125 and NSS300 motorcycles because a resin bracket in the fuel pump may swell and seize, causing the engine to stall and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel pump seizure) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Grom 125 motorcycles manufactured between June 12, 2013, and September 8, 2015, and 2014-2015 NSS300 & NSS300A motorcycles manufactured between June 18, 2013, and March 19, 2015. The recall involves 17,643 vehicles in total.

The defect involves the resin bracket inside the fuel pump, which may swell and cause the pump impeller to seize. If the fuel pump seizes, the motorcycle will stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump assembly with one that uses a metal bracket internally, free of charge. The recall began in October 2016. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are KC3 and KC4. This recall supersedes recall 14V-672; some motorcycles remedied under that previous campaign are also affected by this recall and need to have the fuel pump replaced again.
