My dealer in Manitoba Canada was notified of the recall. Since its -40c here with snow on the ground,I'm not in a big hurry. The dealer did tell that when I receive the letter from Honda Canada,to bring it to them,and they will order the parts. Each dealer is not automatically given the repair parts,without the documentation.

I dont have a problem with any manufacturer having a recall. To me the company,weather its automotive, bikes or coffee makers,is admitting to a defect. To many times manufacturers hide a defect,and some have serious outcomes. It's unfortunate that some owners were made to pay for this out of their own pocket. Since there is a recall on this defect,those people should be refunded in full,for what the repair cost them. It's sometimes hard for a manufacturer to know if a problem is an isolated problem,or a mass production defect. Hopefully this is a one time fix,and doesn't need repair,every xxx amount of miles. I'll be contacting my dealer this week to get the Canadian update on this.

Oh,oh.Honda designed a clutch system,on the edge of destruction with added power.Highly unlikely. If you added nitrous or launched your dct hard continuously, i could see quicker clutch wear. Reflash,pipe,K/N filter, decat exaust. I'm not considered.I don't abuse my bike and maintain it to a T. I'm not drag racing,so that I'm sure the clutch will hold up to the added power from my DCT. The extra power adds to the fun factor,.The extra 15-20 hp won't damage the bike,in my opinion. Time will tell.
