Newest version of front differential seal for Talon?

[Davegun81]

Does anybody know if this is the latest version of the front differential seal for the Talons? Changed out my buddies 21 with these seals at first they worked good. But every once in a while there is a little seepage on each side. Maybe they need to break in a bit more. And it’s also been in the 20s and 30s when it’s been ridden. Thanks

There was part number change for that seal indicated on the 2019 fiche from 91254-HL4-F41 to 91254-HL4-F42. The change in the final three digit string indicates a change in a supplier, or a change in the part itself.

This number stayed the same in 2020 and 2021, 91254-HL4-F42. In 2022, that part number underwent a second change to the part number, to what you have, 91254-HL4-F43. So that is the most recent part number for that seal. However, a few large online Honda parts suppliers show that part number as NOLA, so there might be a 3rd change on the way. It just isn't available online yet.

Kinda weird that online retailers list the F43 seal as NOLA, Honda has over 1200 in stock.

They also only list that seal as fitting 2022 Talons not 2021 and older for whatever reason.

My folks are telling me that there is a change in the works, can neither confirm, nor deny.

There should have been a recall!!
