What could happen: A FIRE MAY RESULT AT THE END OF THE BREATHER TUBE ANDMAY SPREAD TO ADJACENT AREAS.
The fix: REPLACEMENT AND REROUTING OF THE FUEL PUMP BREATHER TUBE.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 1989 CBR600F.
- Book a repair at any authorized Honda dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 89V126000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
