STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2021 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP motorcycles. The rear cushion connecting plate(s) may have been installed incorrectly, which may cause the plate(s) to break.
- What it can cause
- Broken plate(s) may cause a sudden drop to the vehicle height, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace both rear cushion connecting plates free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 7, 2021. Owners may contact Honda Powersports customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is KL9.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 89 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the structure 13 times before this, most recently in December 2019 as 19V865000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V864000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V061000 (engine and engine cooling).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on April 8, 2021 as campaign 21V249000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
