Honda recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling all Genuine Accessory Rear Carriers designed specially for 2019-2020 Monkey motorcycles. The rear carrier may fail when the carrying weight is below the stated limit.
What could happen
An operator may unknowingly overload the rear carrier, which may cause the rear carrier to break and detach. If the rear carrier detaches while the vehicle is in motion, it can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will uninstall the rear carrier and provide a refund. The recall began December 12, 2019. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is KK5.
