Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 honda vt1800c motorcycle and there is a manufacturer's defect on the rear wheel bearings. i only have 12,000 miles on this motorcycle and the rear wheel bearings are shot to hell. i have done extensive research on this subject with owner forums and see that many owners have the same problem but yet honda refuses to recognize that they have a defect or need a recall. it is my opinion that honda is not recalling this particular factory defect due to lack of a quality fix. many owners report buying brand new factory bearing sets only to find that they are defective even before installing the new replacement bearings. some one needs to make honda fix this situation at their expense before some one gets killed riding their motorcycle due to rear wheel lock up. *jb |
