3 recalls across 4 model years
The Honda CB500 has 3 recalls spanning 2013 to 2020, with the most serious affecting 2013-2015 models where the fuel level sensor's float arm can deform and separate, either feeding the fuel gauge false readings or contacting electrical terminals inside the tank and causing a short circuit that raises the risk of fire.
The 2014-2015 model years share a starter relay recall with several other Honda motorcycles from that era: sealant applied incorrectly to the relay switch can cause a loss of electrical power, stalling the engine without warning while riding. On 2020 models, the rear reflector lens can have a defect that reduces how much light it returns to following drivers, making the motorcycle harder to see at night and raising the risk of a rear-end collision.
