Buying a used 2023 Honda CMX300? Check these 3 recalls first
This 2023 Rebel 300 carries a critical-severity recall for oil leaking onto hot exhaust, plus two separate recalls covering a handlebar screw that can fall out or detach. The oil recall is the standout given the fire exposure it describes, though it carries no stop-riding or park-outside instruction. The complaint record is essentially blank — one unverified NHTSA report under power train — which is typical of a low-volume motorcycle model year rather than a signal of anything.
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.
- Get written confirmation the oil-leak recall repair was performed by a Honda dealer.
- Inspect the engine, exhaust and underside for oil residue or burn marks.
- Check that the handlebar clamp screws are all present and properly torqued.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
