What is this? This is about some Honda motorcycles made in Thailand. A small screw in the steering lock may not be tight enough.

What's happening? If the screw comes loose while you ride, it could make the steering hard to control. This might cause a crash. The loose part could also hurt other people on the road.

Does this affect me? This affects certain Honda motorcycles in Germany and France. Check if your bike is one of these models.

What should I do? Stop riding and take the bike to a Honda dealer right away. Ask your mechanic or doctor if you feel unsure about riding it.
