Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

DLR MSG - MC 201
Dealer message - Honda is launching a SAFETY RECALL on the following models. Effective immediately, YOU MUST NOT SELL any 2013 model year CBR500R/RA, CB500F/FA, or CB500X/XA within the following affected VIN ranges until it is repaired according to the Service Bulletin repair procedure.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
