Buying a used 2023 Honda CMX500? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 1 owner complaints on file

The 2023 CMX500's recall record is narrow: two recalls, both about a handlebar screw that can fall out or detach. There is no engine, brake or fuel recall on this model year, and unlike the 2023 Rebel 300 it is not covered by the oil-leak recall. NHTSA holds one unverified owner complaint, filed under service brakes and hydraulic, which is far too little to draw a pattern from. Because the two handlebar recalls overlap, a VIN check may show both.

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. Run the VIN for both handlebar screw recalls and confirm each shows as closed.
3. Inspect the handlebar clamp screws for presence, tightness and thread damage.
4. Test front and rear brake feel and inspect lines for leaks, the lone complaint area.
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.
