2004 Honda CBR600RR recalls

Service brakes, hydraulic: pedals and linkages

NHTSA campaign 04V387000 · reported August 5, 2004 · HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) · 22,000 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
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.
