Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 NC700XDC and NC700XC motorcycles. Some motorcycles may be equipped with drive chains that contain outer drive plates that were improperly heat-treated, resulting in plate fracture during use. If a plate fractures, the motorcycle can unexpectedly lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.
