Honda Motorcycles Cbr500: Engine May Stall
Honda is recalling 5,734 CBR500 and CB500 motorcycles because the fuel level gauge arm holder may swell in hot weather and weaken, potentially causing the float arm to detach during hard acceleration or deceleration. If detached, the arm could cause the fuel gauge to malfunction, create noise from the fuel tank, or in severe cases cause the engine to stall. Honda will replace the complete fuel pump and float arm unit on affected motorcycles.

- Vehicles: HONDA MOTORCYCLES CBR500, HONDA MOTORCYCLES CB500. Units affected: 5,734
- Reason
- The fuel level gauge arm holder at the fuel pump may swell during hot weather riding conditions and may become weakened. Under the riding condition of deceleration and immediate acceleration the fuel wave created inside the fuel tank causes higher load on the float arm and it could become detached from its holder. If the fuel float arm becomes detached it could result in fuel indicator error abnormal noise from fuel tank or in worst case engine stall should the arm contact the fuel pump terminals. Remedy: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace complete fuel pump...
