What is this? Honda motorcycles made in Thailand may have a problem with oil plugs in the engine. These plugs can pop out and let hot oil leak.

Does this affect me? This affects certain Honda bikes in Portugal, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, and Slovenia.

What should I do? Stop riding the bike and take it to a Honda dealer right away. Ask your mechanic about the oil plug problem.
