Do you own a 2024 through 2026 Honda CBR600RR? If there's one sitting in your garage or at the curb out front and it's yours, then you'll want to know about the new safety recall report that American Honda Motor Co just filed with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The issue? Possibly excessive oil consumption could result from a manufacturing defect with the engine block cylinder surface, which could potentially lead the connecting rod bearings to completely seize if starved of oil. This could, in turn, cause the rear wheel to lock up, and/or possibly cause engine oil to come in contact with your exhaust system. This could, in turn, increase the risk of a fire, crash, and/or injury.
Approximately 1,253 motorcycles are believed to be involved in this recall, according to Honda's manufacturing records. As for any possible warnings or signs that something is amiss, Honda advises that owners could note a low engine oil level or possibly increased oil consumption when performing the recommended routine inspections.
