The 2024 Honda CB650R has 2 recalls, both addressing the same issue: the gear shift arm fasteners can loosen and fall off, leaving the rider unable to change gears and raising the risk of a crash.
When the shift arm detaches, the rider loses the ability to select gears entirely. Beyond the effect on the rider, a shift arm that drops onto the road can create a hazard for other vehicles and riders following behind.
