To Whom It May Concern, I am the owner of a 2026 Honda CBR600RR. I recently learned that this motorcycle is affected by an active recall related to potential engine defects that can lead to oil loss, rod bearing failure, and possible rear wheel lock. As a new rider, I do not feel safe operating this motorcycle until the recall repair is fully implemented. The first stage of the recall was completed prior to my purchase, but the defect persists and the permanent remedy is not yet available. I request the following actions be documented and addressed: 1.Official acknowledgement of my safety concern and that the bike is currently unsafe to ride. 2.Escalation to Honda Customer Relations for review of transport assistance, towing, or other options while the recall repair is pending. 3.Notification to NHTSA of my ongoing safety concerns, including my inability to safely ride the motorcycle. 4.Documentation of the unresolved recall and any potential next steps, including eligibility for goodwill compensation or buyback if the defect cannot be repaired promptly. I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious safety concern and ask that all communications and documentation be retained for my records.
