Honda Recalls VT1300CX Fury Motorcycles for Fuel Tank Weld Defect

Honda is recalling specific 2010, 2016, and 2017 VT1300CX Fury motorcycles because missing welds on the fuel tank mounting bracket could cause fuel leaks and fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (missing welds) that creates a risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017 Honda VT1300CX Fury motorcycles, as well as 2010 and 2016 models that previously received a replacement fuel tank. The recall addresses a defect where the fuel tank may be missing welds around the mounting bracket.

If the welds are missing, the mounting bracket can separate from the tank. This separation allows fuel to leak, which increases the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel tank welds and, as necessary, replace the fuel tank free of charge. The recall began on December 14, 2017. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
