Well....bad news. Honda says they are not covering the engine! So if anyone needs a low mileage, shiny, only driven to church on Sunday, boat anchor! Just lmk thanks!

WOW!!!!
That really stinks.

What was the reason for not covering it?

Yea called my insurance company and filed a claim with them, dealer says i would have around 9k in parts/labor to rebuild engine. I’m sure the trans took a hit also when engine went so there ain’t no telling what that would cost on top of the 9k. Insurance totals out at around 70% of total cost and I’m prob gonna be over that. So this might be my last Honda sxs purchase.

They told me that Honda said the CB shaft broke due to hydro locking the engine. Which I’ve never done. The only thing that has taken in water on it was the fuel tank vent line before i extended the line

Did they find traces of water in the oil? If there was no trace of water in the engine how can they say that?

That’s some BS. If you wouldn’t have had insurance they prob would have covered it.

Yea I’m sure it’s hondas way of blaming it on owner operator and not themselves for not recalling some early 16 units for cb shaft issues

Insurance covers engine damage?

Honda only leaves you with one option. And it's probably why so many have burnt to a crisp.

Thanks for posting your story. Should there be others in the future they will find this link and add to their arguement when approaching Honda. It might not help you but if it happens again to someone else it could help them. My advice would be to look for other avenues to post your complaint and wage a campaign. I am sure there are federal boards where this is applicable. NTSB might be a good start as this could have caused an accident. If nothing else get this documented in as many places as possible. Like I said it might not help you but could someone else.

I went thru something similar with Mama Kaw. I called Kawasaki and they told me this was the first time they heard of anyone with an issue like mine. Told me I prob installed my bag incorrectly and that it was on me. I posted my story and not only heard DOZENS of other similar stories I found out that the same guy that had told me the company line had talked with half a dozen others in the months before. Total Liar. We started filling complaints with the NTSB and with in a month I get a call from the useless dealer telling me to bring my bike in. The dealer was instructed by Mama Kaw to call me immediately and replace both bags and locks. Shortly after there was a recall on my bike model to correct the issue.

A couple years ago I had an issue with Ram trucks screwing me and likely thousands of others over. When I told them I was contacting my state’s attorney general I started getting calls from “The Office of the President”. Just a thought...

 

[Deleted member 3748]

I think @kswaterfowler is right. I'd keep on them if you truly didn't sink it.

I have not read this entire thread but I would be calling one of the lemon law lawyers just to see if it is something they would consider taking. You pay nothing if they do. They collect from the manufacturer.
