Honda CBR500R, CB500F and CB500X - 19 Year Models (2019–2020)
What the hazard is
Unexpected increase in required braking distance could lead to an accident causing injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.
What to do
Owners should contact their nearest Honda motorcycle dealer and arrange for their motorcycle to be inspected and repaired, free of charge.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing issue with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) module it is possible that excess grease may adhere to internal components. Continued use of the motorcycle, without addressing this issue, may cause an internal pressure leak, which could lead to increased braking distances.
