  3. Filed Aug 1, 2026Failure Aug 1, 2026Manteca, CAEngine

    The oil level in my motorcycle has continued to drop every time I take it to the dealership to get inspected, and 7 months after I was notified about the recall, there is still no repair available for my vehicle. This is unacceptable as i am unable to ride my motorcycle across long distances and am inconvenienced every 300 miles to get it inspected at my dealership. There needs to be a solution asap to repair my vehicle.

  7. Filed Mar 13, 2026Failure Mar 13, 2026Humble, TXEngine

    To Whom It May Concern, I am the owner of a 2026 Honda CBR600RR. I recently learned that this motorcycle is affected by an active recall related to potential engine defects that can lead to oil loss, rod bearing failure, and possible rear wheel lock. As a new rider, I do not feel safe operating this motorcycle until the recall repair is fully implemented. The first stage of the recall was completed prior to my purchase, but the defect persists and the permanent remedy is not yet available. I request the following actions be documented and addressed: 1.Official acknowledgement of my safety concern and that the bike is currently unsafe to ride. 2.Escalation to Honda Customer Relations for review of transport assistance, towing, or other options while the recall repair is pending. 3.Notification to NHTSA of my ongoing safety concerns, including my inability to safely ride the motorcycle. 4.Documentation of the unresolved recall and any potential next steps, including eligibility for goodwill compensation or buyback if the defect cannot be repaired promptly. I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious safety concern and ask that all communications and documentation be retained for my records.
