4 recalls across 5 model years
The Honda CBR500R has 4 recalls spanning 2013 through 2021, with the most serious being a brake fluid leak on 2019–2020 ABS-equipped models where excess grease in the ABS modulator can trap debris in the check valve, reducing braking performance.
The 2020–2021 model years have a rear reflector that may not meet brightness standards, making the motorcycle less visible to drivers behind it. The 2014 model year has a starter relay switch where sealant was incorrectly applied during assembly, which can increase resistance across the main fuse and cut battery voltage to the electrical system, causing the engine to stall while riding or fail to start. On 2013 models, the fuel level sensor float arm can separate from the sensor body, causing the fuel gauge to read inaccurately.
