2013 Honda CBR500RA Recalls
NHTSA has 1 recall campaign on file for the 2013 Honda CBR500RA. Every repair below is free at a franchised dealer, by federal law.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Honda is recalling certain model year 2013 CB500 (FA, F, XA, X) and CBR500 (RA, R) motorcycles. The rocker arm shaft retaining bolts may have been manufactured incorrectly resulting in the bolts loosening during engine operation. A loose bolt will initially result in a slow leak of engine oil, but if not addressed, the bolt can come out of the cylinder head entirely.
Risk: Without a bolt, the engine will have reduced power which may result in a stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rocker arm shaft retaining bolts, free of charge. The recall began on March 11, 2014. Owners may contact Honda Customer Service at 1-866-784-1870.
