The 2024 Honda CBR650R has 3 recalls, the most serious being a gear shift arm where fasteners can loosen and fall off, leaving the rider unable to change gears while in motion and raising the risk of a crash.
Two recalls involve the turn signal switch wiring, and while they stem from different causes, both lead to the same result: a blown fuse or damaged wire that can knock out the turn signals, brake lights, horn, speedometer, and tail lights simultaneously. In one case, engine vibration wears through the wire harness; in the other, the harness was not routed correctly from the factory and can chafe against a bracket inside the fairing. Either way, the loss of brake lights and turn signals makes the motorcycle much harder for other drivers to read.
