Buying a used 2019 Honda CB300R? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls apply: a critical one covering a transmission that can lock up, shared with the CBR300R and CRF250L, and a high-severity recall for a headlight that can flicker or quit. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Only three unverified NHTSA complaints are on file, with no crashes, fires or injuries, spread across power train, engine, structure and unclassified areas — a very small sample that says little either way about reliability.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify the transmission recall was performed by VIN before riding
- Ride through all gears listening for binding or lockup
- Test the headlight on both beams and check wiring and connectors
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
