Honda Recalls Africa Twin Centerstand Kits Due to Detachment Risk

Honda is recalling Genuine Accessory Centerstand Kits for 2016-2018 Africa Twin motorcycles because a broken circlip can cause the stand to detach, creating a road hazard or causing the bike to fall.

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 component (centerstand) that can detach, creating a risk of crash or injury, but no specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain Honda Genuine Accessory Centerstand Kits, part number 08M70-MJP-G50, sold for possible installation on 2016-2018 Africa Twin motorcycles. The recall involves 2,933 units. The defect is that the circlip can break, allowing the centerstand to detach.

If the centerstand detaches while the motorcycle is moving, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. If it detaches while the motorcycle is parked on the centerstand, the motorcycle can fall over, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will replace the circlip and washer free of charge. The recall began on October 2, 2018.
