American Honda is recalling approximately 5,700 model year 2015 and 2016 Honda CRF450R motocross off-road motorcycles. The transmission gear in these motorcycles can break while in use, which can lead to engine lock-up or loss of control. These red, black, and white motorcycles were sold at Honda Powersports dealers nationwide between September 2014 and August 2017 for about $8,700. Consumers should stop using these bikes and contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The transmission gear can break during operation, causing the engine to seize or the rear wheel to lock up unexpectedly. This failure poses a significant risk of a crash and serious physical injury to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled motorcycles and contact an authorized Honda Powersports dealer to schedule a free inspection and free repair. Honda is contacting all known purchasers directly.
