Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Filed Sep 3, 2025

Dear Honda Motor Co., Inc. Customer Service, ​I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the service I received at Lilliston Honda in Vineland, New Jersey, concerning a recall repair on my motorcycle. ​I dropped off my 2013 Honda CBR600RR at the dealership on August 19, 2025, for a recall related to the fuel pump. The motorcycle has experienced frequent and dangerous engine shutdowns while riding, and difficulty starting afterward. I also mentioned to the service staff that the fuel pump priming sound is often absent when this occurs. An engine code has also been triggered. These issues strongly suggest a faulty fuel pump. ​On August 29, 2025, a week after I dropped off the bike, I finally received a call from the dealership. I was informed that the fuel pump on my specific motorcycle is not covered under the recall based on its batch number. The technician then told me my bike had a "running issue" and that any diagnostic work and subsequent repairs would be an out-of-pocket expense, even if it was determined to be a fuel pump problem. This information is frustrating and feels like a deceptive practice, especially given that the symptoms I described are a textbook match for the recall issue. ​I authorized a diagnostic to be performed up to a maximum of $200. I find this cost excessive, especially since a simple scan would likely reveal the engine code and confirm the issue. I am concerned that I am being misled and overcharged for a problem that is a known safety hazard and should be covered by the manufacturer. ​The lack of urgency and transparency in handling this recall is alarming, as the recurring engine shutdowns on major highways have put my safety at serious risk. I urge you to review my case and address this matter promptly. ​Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

MC - The Wrench

SEATS

Honda technician newsletter - Rider Seat InstallationWhen installing the rider seat on NM4, be sure to insert the front two prongs (one on each side) into their respective stays. If these prongs are not inserted fully, the seat may be difficult to install and remove. Top shelter installation - Several Honda models have a plastic top shelter that installs over a gas cap assembly that includes a rubber insulator around its circumference.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
