2015-2016 crf450 recall?

[dozer]

I got an email last week from Honda. They are recalling all 2015-2016 450s because the 5th gear shift fork is weak and is breaking. Was wondering if anyone else has heard of this?

They've been sending letters out. Was on the internet last week.

Weird I was told it was 3rd gear by ask, iron pony and a few other dealerships

I believe it somehow affects both gears.

Honda quality!
I would be PISSED. I want no part of a local dealer splitting the cases on my 450.

I'd go the "it's already fixed" route before letting a dealer open it up.

That's what I'm worried about. I don't trust any of the dealers! Ugh!

I bet there are only one or two guys at a local dealer that know what they are doing to split some cases.

I'd trust Dustin at north ridge yamaha in Geneva Ohio with any of my engines. He does a great job.

Hi, My name is Zack Porter and I work at Sill's Motor Sales located at the Parma/Cleveland border. I have worked here for 17Yrs. and am more than capable of completing that recall without issue. If it is time for any other maintenance or performance upgrades on the engine I can do them at the same time with no extra labor charges. The phone number is 216-749-1363, Just ask for Zack when someone answers. The recall is for replacing 5th gear because the dogs on it that engage 3rd gear can crack or break.
