What's wrong, in plain English

Certain Honda CB1000SP Hornet SP motorcycles may have a problem with the pivot bolt on the gearshift pedal. This bolt could loosen over time and even detach completely, which would leave the rider unable to shift gears while riding. This means the motorcycle doesn't meet a federal safety standard covering motorcycle controls and displays. Dealers will replace the pivot bolt to fix this, free of charge.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your motorcycle is included.
2. Contact a Honda dealer, or Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870, to schedule a repair.
3. The repair is free of charge.
