Honda Expands Recall of Talon ROVs Over Engine Failure Defect
Honda has expanded a March 2022 recall of its model years 2019-2021 Talon 1000 recreational off-road vehicles.
“The vehicle’s intake funnel band screw can loosen and enter the engine through the intake funnel and cause sudden engine failure,” CPSC said in a press release announcing the Honda Talon recall. If this occurs, it can result in a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.”
The latest recall, which affects 34,000 Honda Talon ROVs, includes the following vehicles:
| MY | Model | VIN Start | VIN End |
| 2021 | Talon 1000 S2 | 1HFVE05**M4200084 | 1HFVE05**M4203061 |
| 2021 | Talon 1000 S4 | 1HFVE06**M4100121 | 1HFVE06**M4102580 |
CPSC said Honda has received 18 reports of incidents. The vehicles were sold at authorized Honda Powersports dealers nationwide from March 2019 through September 2022 for between $20,000 and $27,000.
