The 2021 Honda CBR1000RR has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine without warning, raising the risk of a crash. The fuel pump impeller can deform over time, cutting fuel delivery to the engine entirely. Note that the remaining two recalls affect only the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP trim. On that model, the exhaust pipe can overheat under certain riding conditions and melt the oil cooler pipe, causing it to rupture and spill oil onto the exhaust or rear tire, which can lead to a fire or loss of traction. There is also a structural concern: one or more rear suspension connecting plates may have been installed incorrectly and can crack and break, causing the rear of the motorcycle to drop suddenly and destabilize the bike mid-ride.
