Country of origin	ベトナム社会主義共和国
Manufacturer	Honda Vietnam Co., Ltd.
Models affected	Tact, Dunk
Units affected	51493
Defect	In the engine, due to improper management methods during the manufacturing process of the crankcase and transmission case, the adhesion of the mating surfaces of these cases is insufficient, which may lead to transmission oil leakage. As a result, abnormal noise may occur due to poor oil lubrication, and if use is continued, the bearings inside the case may be damaged, and in the worst case, the rear wheel may lock up while driving, posing a risk of falling.
Component	Engine (crankcase and transmission case)
Remedy	For all vehicles, measure the transmission oil level. If it is below the standard, replace the transmission case with a good one and replace bearings, etc., with new ones. If it is at or above the standard, clean the mating surfaces of the case, apply gasket material, and reassemble. Please note that it will take time to prepare the parts, so the details of the defect will be announced, and customers will be contacted again once parts are ready.
