The Hazard!

A small number of 2013 CB500 and CBR500 may have an issue with the sealing bolt on the rocker shaft. Some sealing bolts have loosened causing oil to leak from the engine. In extreme cases these can come out completely and allow the rocker shaft to work its way out. In some cases this can result in engine damage and stalling while riding.

What to do...

If you receive a letter contact your nearest Honda motorcycle dealer to have an inspection carried out.
