Honda Pioneer 700, 2014 Skid plate recall/update

Re: Skid plate recall/update 700p4

Using the "lawyer logic" ( trumps all common sense), we would need to file a law suit against Honda to fix the sticks coming up through the floor board and into our boots. On the flip side, if Honda did offer a voluntary recall solution, the lawyers would feed off a class action law suit because Honda "admitted" there was a safety issue. Sadly, in Corporate America, corporations are damned if they do and damned if the don't. It usually comes down to a financial risk analysis as to which path reduces their exposure and risk to law suits vs. doing the right thing for their customers.

Recall finally hit the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/Recall-A ... -Vehicles/

About 15,400 units were affected.
Honda has received reports of 10 incidents involving fires resulting from vegetation and debris accumulating on the middle skid plate and making contact with the vehicle’s exhaust system. No injuries were reported.

The following model numbers and serial number ranges are being recalled:

Need to replace all my skidplates anyhow. Have another issue going on that had me under it looking up- why in hell would they make a 3-piece skidplate, and join the front and middle like that? My front plate is pushed up so high it's almost above that rectangular frame crossmember.... Might look for materials and come up with a homemade one over the winter.

Clarky as well as myself have received a Reminder this week as we have yet to get ours completed.

I have no plans to complete it as I have installed a aftermarket skid from Red Mountain Products as well have implemented some of the heat protection listed above.

 

[duwops]

Got my reminder also, been having so much fun that I can't find the time. Every week I tell myself to make an appointment to get this takin care of and forget. Dang meds!

I never received a notification for either recall. If it were not for this forum, I might have never known about them. Thanks to the members.

Something to consider- my dealer told me if I wanted to bring my pioneer in to have the valves adjusted they could not legally return it to me until the updated skid plate is installed. So if you want to keep the original one don't take your pioneer to the dealer to have any work done. And if you are considering having some work done at the dealer I would call ahead and make sure they have a skid plate In stock or your machine might be stuck at the dealership for awhile

Take your original skid plate off before you take it in?

I just got a reminder about the recall. I am going to take my old one off before i take my pioneer in. Can use it for something i guess. I am going to get the red mountain full skid plate in a few months tho. Honda should of put a better skid plate on these SxS.

Took mine in last week to have the heater hoses changed and they just went ahead and changed the skid plate. I didn't even say anything to them about changing it. It was all bent up, so guess I'll have to get one of the aftermarket ones now.

You people are not realizing one simple thing. You can not sell anything that has a recall until it's fixed. I found that out on the bolt recall of my C. J. Higgins 12 gauge shotgun

I'm not allowing anyone to install a "updated" skid plate with 2 large holes in it. This thread wouldn't even exist if you people would clean out the underbelly every now and again. There are alternate methods to acquire the same results. The Honda lawyers have chosen this method because it is less of a financial burden then fixing using a method that upholds the purpose of a SKID PLATE!

Two words:

Preventative Maintenance



It's like an oil change or an air filter change you do it so something doesn't break not when it does.

This one is still in effect also!

They need to recall that bad starter design on the 2014 700-4 eats starters like candy nothing to hold it down in front moves up and down when starter is turning over eats the gears off

Never seen a Pioneer starter go bad, I did use to replace the Big Red starter alot until they updated it. Not sure what they changed from the Rincon to the Big Red that tore starters up, but they were common.

iv never had a starter go out. between 2- 2014s and 1-2013 big red.

They updated the Big Red starter sometime after '11 or '12. I never understood why they changed it from the Rincon starter, I never have any issues with those and it's the same engine beside some gearing changes.
