The CPSC and American Honda are expanding the recall of 2019-2021 Honda Talon 1000 ROVs, recreational off-highway vehicles.  The intake funnel band screw on these units loosens, falls into the engine, and triggers sudden engine failures with loss of vehicle control and injuries to the vehicle occupants and bystanders.  About 34,000 vehicles, sold at Honda Powersports dealers are impacted. About 32,000 were previously recalled in March 2022.  If you own one of these ROV’s, contact your Honda Powersports dealer to schedule a free inspection and proper tightening and thread deformation of the intake funnel screw.  For additional information, call American Honda at 1-866-784-1870.
