3 recalls across 4 model years
The Honda CB500 has 3 recalls spanning 2013 through 2020, with the most serious affecting 2013-2015 models where the fuel level sensor's float arm can deform and separate, giving the rider a false fuel reading or, in some cases, contacting electrical terminals inside the tank and causing a short circuit.
The 2014-2015 model years have a separate electrical issue where incorrectly applied sealant on the starter relay can cause a loss of electrical power, stalling the engine without warning while riding. On 2020 models, certain rear reflector lenses can have a defect that reduces the amount of light they return to drivers behind the motorcycle, making the bike harder to see at night or in low-visibility conditions.
