Honda Recalls 43,913 Rebel 300/500 and SCL500 Models in the US

Honda has issued a US recall covering 43,913 units of the Rebel 300, Rebel 500 and SCL500. A steering-lock mounting bolt may not have been torqued to spec and can loosen over time, potentially blocking steering input. Certified dealers will inspect and, if needed, replace the bolt with thread locker at Honda's specified torque, free of charge.

This isn't a spec-sheet story, it's an assembly-line story. The steering lock mounting bolt wasn't torqued to spec on the line, and if it loosens and wedges between the chassis and steering shaft, it physically blocks steering input. That's the part that gets me. Honda specifying thread locker on the fix tells you they're serious about it not happening again.

It says free inspection, but does that apply to Japan-spec bikes too?

Loose bolts like this are a classic early-production issue. Not that rare.

43,913 units is a serious number. Makes me wonder about QC on the US line.

Harley's had recalls too — no manufacturer gets to sit this one out.

A steering lock failure is no joke. Checking your VIN should be mandatory here.

This is scary... maybe I should get my bike inspected too, just in case.
