## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co\) is recalling certain 2021 CBR1000RR\-R Fireblade SP motorcycles.  Under certain driving conditions, the exhaust pipe may overheat, which could melt the oil cooler pipe and cause it to rupture.


## What can happen

A ruptured oil cooler pipe can leak oil onto the exhaust pipe or rear tires, increasing the risk of a fire, crash, or injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the oil cooler pipe and install a heat guard between the exhaust pipe and oil cooler pipe, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed April 8, 2022.  A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.  Owners are advised not to ride their motorcycle above 5,000 RPM in 1st gear until the recall repair is complete.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-866\-784\-1870.  Honda's number for this recall is KN3.


## Notes

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.nhtsa.gov.
