The 2021 Honda CBR1000RR has 3 recalls, with the most serious being an exhaust pipe that can overheat and melt the oil cooler pipe, spilling oil onto the exhaust or rear tire and raising the risk of fire or loss of control.
Two of the recalls affect only the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP trim. Beyond the exhaust issue, that model may have a rear suspension connecting plate installed incorrectly, which can break and cause the rear of the bike to drop suddenly, destabilizing the motorcycle while riding. The third recall covers a fuel pump with impellers that can deform and stop delivering fuel, causing the engine to stall without warning.
