NOTICE: RECALL '06-'07 models - Page 3

yes...just the part that holds the gas

I got my recall the other day so I talk to the Honda dealer. He told me that he has to pressure check my tank first to see if it needs replacing. My question is that my bike has only 400 miles on it does the ploblem occur with time or will it show now? 

my dealer is replacing all tanks... regardless

I just got my Recall also.  But, considering I already had the problem fixed last month, I guess I don't have to worry about it.  Although, I've heard that ignoring factory recalls voids the warranty.  I don't know though.  I got the 3 year extended policy.  As far as how much time it takes for the problem to occur, I had my bike for exactly 1 year with 4,500 miles on it when the tank started to leak.  The recall said something about the crack developing due to vibrations on the improperly welded tank.  So, I guess it just depends on how bad the weld is on the tank and how much stress is put on it.  So, it could happen at any time I suppose.  I think its good that certain dealers are replacing them regardless.  That way you don't have to worry about it...

Good evening fella's! I took my bike in today to my Honda Dealer here in Columbus, OH. They replaced the gas tank in regards to the recall. I dropped the bike off at 10 am when they opened and they called me at 12:15 pm to come pick it up. They DID replace the tank. They told me ALL Honda Dealers should be replacing the tanks. I hope this helps.

Now the the dealer here says they were given a tool from Honda to messure the welds to make sure they were good. I have not heard a thing about doing a presure check on the tank. It has nothing to do with presure. It is about the weld cracking from the vibration.
 
Hey I want a BIG Don Sub now. I miss those too. I used to deliver for store number 2. That is the one on Brice rd. It was the 2nd one ever built.

WHERE DID YOU TAKE IT TO?
I was told to bring it in, then they will have to order it, then wait bout a week, then it should be ready.
I told them to order one and I will bring it it when it shows up. They said they were not allowed to do that. WTF?

OH HELL WITH THAT!!!!
Call another dealer. That is BS. Dealers have tanks on hand. Go to another dealer. I don't live in Columbus anymore but I had something like that done to me here to.
The dealer told me I had to leave my bike for a day or too. I called another dealer and they got me in and out in 2 hours. Now the next day a friend of mine took his bike to the dealer I bought my bike from which was the first dealer I went to. They got him in and out in an hour and half. They also told him not to tell me that they did that. Cause they had told me to leave my bike. Now isnt that just a bunch of you know what.

I took it to Northwest Honda in Hilliard at Mill Run. They had a box sitting at the Parts Counter full of fuel tanks. I am not sure of the total quantity, but I did not have to wait for them to order one. Call them Monday morning and see if they have one. If they do, they should be able to get you in, serviced, and out the door within a few hours. Marysville Motorsports told me they had to order one for me and it would be a week or so. Yeah right!!! They maybe a Honda Powersports store, but they are full of sh*t.

i got my recall the other day called rick roush in medina where i bought it told me bring it in they have tanks to replace the old ones. will take a hour or two. if they are open newyears eve and it dont snow here tonight i will ride it up in the am to get the tank done. my bike is new bought in late oct only has 900 miles on it and they didnt ask just said they would replace it? hope it stays dry tonight!

Bundle up brother! Gonna' be a cold day in Cleveland. See you at the IX Center next month!

i haven't recieved a letter from honda about the recall so i called the dealer to verify that it didn't affect my vin and it DOES affect my bike..  they were probably gonna wait untill spring to send me the recall so i coudln't ride...

I took my VIN # (build date 03/06) to the dealer yesterday and it was an effected bike, They said they had to test it first and if it needed they would replace it, They said no problem to just bring the tank in. Shouldn't they replace it anyways if there is a recall?
He said they had a tool to test it with and that determined if it needed to be replaced or if it was ok. ( i am assuming they are checking to see if the weld will hold or not?) not just wether or not it is broken already or not??

    mine has been at the dealer for 2 weeks now tank is not only one of the affected it was cracked.  taking forever to get a new tank in

I just got my recall notice and also checked with the list given in this thread.  My numbers don't fall within the list given.  Is this list a sure thing?  Does that mean I don't have to waste my time driving an hour away and waiting 2 hours? 
 
I hate my local honda shop. 

The list is not a sure thing.
It came from a thread 1000rrdotnet.
Not sure of the exact source but, if Honda sent you a notice, you are included with the rest of us.   

 
Yeah, they use a tool to measure the depth of the weld.  If the depth measures as prone to cracking, they replace.  If it checks out, even if your bike falls in the VIN # range, you won't need it replaced and they won't put the new tank on. 
 
I have 2 main shops in town.  One told me they would need my bike for "at least a week even if it doesn't need the part, just to check it out. "   BS.  The next shop took my bike right in, checked the weld, and had it back to me by 10:30 the same morning.
 
Go figure.  Some have posted that they want the replacement EVEN if the weld checks out.  This is foolish.  Why replace a perfectly good working part on your bike?  I've had the recall performed.  I have a sheet of paper basically guaranteeing that this will not be an issue on my bike.  That is good enough for me.  Congrats to Honda for even doing this, as this wasn't a very highly known issue to my knowledge.
 
 
 
Cheers,

Dude...do your homework! I would first of all find a new dealer Not in your town because both of the dealers IN your town seem to be ran by some monkeys who do not know what they are talking about. Regardless of the measurement of the welds, the dealers in Columbus, OH are replacing the fuel tanks no matter what.
 
Why would it be foolish to replace a part that is supposedly a perfectly good working part? Obviously this is not the case or Honda would not have issued the recall on the '06 and '07 CBR 1000RR models. Why would they have also issued a "STOP SALE" on all models effective 11-27-2007? I am also curious who gave you this sheet of paper with a guarantee for your bike? I know Honda did not because they would not do that for liability reasons. A leaking fuel tank on a hot motor is a very serious concern and I do not think that Honda's Corporate Lawyers would give that kind of guarantee. If they did, I am VERY surprised!!! I am not trying to be an a** and call you out, but trying to make you aware of what you could be dealing with. I would hate to hear about you riding down the road and your bike catching on fire. I would have it replaced regardless. That is your right as an owner.

I heard of a tool being used to inspect the welds but I would not be satisfied with weld quality and penetration without a cut and etch of my own tank.  
I would not trust just any tech to to any sort of Non Destructive Testing with sophisticated  equipment.
 
Also, not trying to be an @$$ but, can you scan the guarantee and post it?
That sounds very fishy.

Per the NTSB website:





Recalls for 2007 Honda





2007 HONDA CBR1000RR





NHTSA Campaign ID:
07V576000

Component:
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY

Manufacturer:
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)

Manufacture Dates:
07/11/2006 - 03/05/2007

Potential Units Affected:
25422





Defect Description:

CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES HAVE AN IMPROPER WELDED VENT PIPE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK. DUE TO VIBRATION THE IMPROPERLY WELDED TANKS MAY CRACK AND DRIP FUEL.

Consequence:

FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.

Action to take:

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL TANK FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 866-784-1870.

Honda dealers MUST perform the recall per Honda guidelines.  These guidelines have been approved through the NTSB, and I tend to agree since I would have NO civic or legal authority or precedent to force any Honda dealer to replace the part if it passed inspection.

If you go in demanding a new tank on a bike that clearly doesn't need one per the certified inspection, you may get someone in an understanding mood who will go a little farther and humor your wishes.  They don't have to, however.  What they have to do per the NTSB and HONDA guidelines is a) inspect the tank and the welds.  IF it needs to be changed, fix it free of charge. 

The STOP SALE is issued because noone can tell which bikes are effected until you perform the above recall procedure in a given VIN lot. 

It is absurd to expect dealers to go beyond the requirements of the recall.  That would be equivalent to me expecting them to change the headlight also even though it's working

called late december to make an appointment at local stealership for the 2nd of January, they told me they had five tanks in. Dropped the bike off and recieved a call one hour and 23 minutes later stating the bike was ready for pick up and they replaced the tank.
 
the two bikes they had all ready checked also needed replacing, mine being the third. My friend just took his 07' Repsol in and they did not replace it. He put up a stink and they showed him a bad tank and his tank and gave him some peace of mind.

hey guys i have an 07 has 700mi on it and i took it to the dealer and they replaced the gas tank get ur bikes checked out

    thats the price i pay for living in a town here the gsxr is king
i was told that since the 1000rr wasnt that popular they dont stock a lot of parts for them so they had to order the tank.

dropped it off before xmas
heard from them 2 days ago saying that they finally got around to inspecting it and now i have to wait on the tank to arrive.

damn it
