Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling approximately 19,406 of its 2023-2025 CMX300, CMX500, and CL500 motorcycles because a handlebar lock screw can loosen and fall out. If this happens, the loose screw can get stuck between the motorcycle frame and the steering stem, which may prevent the rider from steering correctly. Dealers will replace the affected lock screw and apply a thread-locking compound to ensure it stays secure, free of charge.
A detached screw can lodge itself between the frame and the steering stem, interfering with the rider's ability to steer the motorcycle. This sudden loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash or serious injury. There have been no reported incidents or injuries at the time of this recall.
Lock screw replacement and thread lock application.
