Buying a used 2021 Honda CMX500? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 1 owner complaints on file

Two recalls apply to the 2021 CMX500: a handlebar screw that can detach, and a rear reflector lens that is too dim. The handlebar item is the safety-relevant one; the reflector is a straightforward parts replacement. Neither carries a stop-riding or park-outside warning, and there is no oil-leak or brake recall on this year. NHTSA shows a single unverified owner complaint, logged under engine and fuel/propulsion, so no complaint pattern can be read here.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm the handlebar screw recall was completed and check the clamp hardware is secure.
3. Check that the rear reflector was replaced under the dim-lens recall.
4. Ride-test for engine or fueling irregularity, the lone complaint area on record.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
