Honda will need time to sort this all out. The second they say, "Yes, there is a problem with XYZ", people will be bombarding their dealers with questions and demands to fix it. In order to fix the problem, you need to figure out exactly what's going on. Is it a bad run of anodizing, bushings issue, too much flex in the tubes, over torqued lower clamps bolts? Other? They'll need to run tests with updated parts to make sure they actually are better than the previous version.... likely several revisions. They need time to produce the new parts (thousands of sets). They may need to design and make new tooling to even be able to make the new parts. Then they need to get parts on the way to dealers. At that point they may acknowledge there's an issue. If you see anything public and official from Honda any sooner than 3 months from now I'd be surprised.

How many months did it take BMW to put out an official statement about the R1200GS stanchions separating? Then shortly after that statement, dealers had the special clamp/crimping tool and new parts. I can assure you BMW started looking into the issues soon after hearing about the first forks separating. Honda will be doing the same here, quietly working on the issue and trying to get ahead of it before the masses hear about it.

I have no doubt Honda will sort it out but they are a giant company and it'll take time.
