The 2020 Honda CBR500R has 2 recalls, the more serious being an ABS brake system defect where excess grease in the modulator can trap debris, cause a brake fluid leak, and reduce stopping power.
The second recall is a visibility concern: the rear reflector lens may not reflect brightly enough, making the motorcycle harder for other drivers to see in low-light conditions.
