2024 Honda CB650R and CBR650R motorcycles gear shift arm fasteners may loosen

Honda is recalling certain 2024 CB650R and CBR650R motorcycles because gear shift arm fasteners may loosen and detach. This prevents riders from shifting gears while riding, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a real mechanical defect affecting a critical control system (gear shifting), with serious consequences (increased crash risk). However, no injuries or crashes have been reported, which per the rubric places it in the High category rather than Severe.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2024 CB650R and CBR650R motorcycles because the fasteners securing the gear shift arm may loosen and detach.

If the fasteners loosen, riders lose the ability to shift gears while riding. The inability to shift gears while operating a motorcycle increases the risk of a crash. No injuries have been reported.

Owners should contact Honda's customer service at 866-784-1870. Dealers will replace the gear shift arm free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed in April 2025.
