Engine

Transport Canada recall 1979082

9 May 1979

Transport Canada lists: CB 750 1979

What is wrong

On certain CB750K, the threaded insert (oil filter boss) for the oil filter retaining bolt may not withstand the stress cause by engine temperature and pressure (particulartly when the oil filter bolt has been over tightened). Should the oil filter boss break, the oil filter will come off allowing oil to fall on the road surface. The oil may come in contact with the rear tire causing a reduction in traction affecting vehicle control.

Transport Canada recall 1979064

5 April 1979

Transport Canada lists: CB 750 1979

What is wrong

On certain CB750KZ, extreme engine oil pressure variation, such as caused when the engine is repeatedly revved-up immediately after starting in cold weather, could cause the countershaft oil seal to split allowing a leakage of oil. If the rider is unaware of the leak and operates the vehicle, oil may come in contact with the rear tire resulting in a reduction of traction.
