EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the CB500F in 1 alert. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The fuel level float arm in the fuel tank could become detached from its holder. In the worst case, this could lead to the engine stalling if the arm contacts the fuel pump terminals.

Honda is recalling certain model year 2013 CB500 (FA, F, XA, X) and CBR500 (RA, R) motorcycles. The rocker arm shaft retaining bolts may have been manufactured incorrectly resulting in the bolts loosening during engine operation. A loose bolt will initially result in a slow leak of engine oil, but if not addressed, the bolt can come out of the cylinder head entirely.
