3 recalls across 3 model years
The Honda CB500X has 3 recalls covering 2019 through 2021 model years, with the most serious affecting 2019-2020 ABS-equipped models where excess grease in the ABS modulator can trap debris in the check valve, cause a brake fluid leak, and reduce braking performance.
A separate brake concern on 2020 models involves the ABS modulator producing reduced brake pressure, which extends stopping distances. Both brake-related issues affect the same generation of the model and involve the same system, though the fluid leak risk applies to the wider 2019-2020 range while the pressure reduction issue is specific to 2020. On 2020-2021 models, the rear reflector lens may not reflect brightly enough to be seen clearly by drivers behind the motorcycle, reducing rear visibility at night or in low-light conditions.
