2025 Honda CB1000SP Motorcycles: Engine Assembly Recall for Bearing Failure Risk

Honda is recalling certain 2025 CB1000SP motorcycles due to improperly manufactured pistons and piston rings that may lead to engine bearing failure, potentially causing rear wheel lockup or engine fire.

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 structural vehicle defect affecting critical engine components (pistons, rings, bearings). While the defect poses serious risks—rear wheel lockup potentially causing crashes and engine fires from oil leaks—no injuries or property damage has been reported to date. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product with no reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2025 CB1000SP motorcycles due to improperly manufactured pistons and piston rings in the engine assembly.

The defective pistons and rings can lead to rod bearing failure, potentially resulting in rear wheel lockup and loss of control. Engine oil may also leak onto hot exhaust components, creating a fire hazard.

Owners should contact a Honda dealer to arrange a free inspection and repair. Honda mailed interim safety notification letters to owners as of February 9, 2026. The repair remedy is anticipated to be available in August 2026.
