2003–2004 Honda CBR600RR recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the rear brake linkage is susceptible to corrosion which CAN cause binding and rough brake operation. As corrosion increases, it CAN cause a sticking pedal or require high brake pedal effort.
💥 The risk
Linkage could break resulting in a loss of rear brake function which could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the spherical rod end and associated parts. This recall began on august 4, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
