Updated December 18, 2025
Honda is recalling certain 2024 to 2026 CBR600RR motorcycles because the cylinder head may have been improperly manufactured, leading to rod bearing failure. This can cause the rear wheel to lock up suddenly or engine oil to leak onto hot exhaust parts, raising the risk of a crash or fire.
