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 2, 2025

My motorcycle, which has presented constant failures with the e clutch system since the beginning of the purchase in October 2024 to the present date, having reported this many times to the dealership RAZEE Motorcycle Center. At first it was thought it could be solved with the recall by HONDA through NHSTA Recalls. The problem has continued to the point of ensuring that it is a risk to handle the motorcycle on public roads, due to the fact that it stays in neutral and cannot apply the gears up or down for 4 seconds or more. I have been close to having accidents on two occasions and I opened a case with American Honda Motor Co. #15642106 to escalate the motorcycle problem. The motorcycle has been tested by a Honda Technician on August 12 2025 and was told by the Technician “ NOTHING IS WRONG with the motorcycle”. The problem has been present and showing symptoms of a flat line on the dashboard.
