What's wrong?
The turn signal switch wire harness on the 2024-2025 Honda CBR650R carries electrical signals from the handlebar switch through the motorcycle's lighting circuit. That circuit helps the rider signal turns and keeps related functions, including brake lighting, the horn, and the speedometer, powered through a fuse. The harness is supposed to sit clear of nearby body supports so vibration does not rub through its insulation.
On affected motorcycles, the harness was routed too close to the left-side middle cowl stay during assembly. Engine vibration lets the harness rub against that metal support until the insulation wears down to the copper wire. When bare wire contacts the wrong surface, it creates a short circuit and blows the 7.5A fuse that powers several rider-alert and visibility functions.
If the fuse is blown, the turn signals, brake lights, license plate light, speedometer, taillight, and horn stop working. The warning sign is that sudden loss of electrical functions, especially loss of speedometer display or signals other drivers depend on.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A blown fuse can take out the turn signals, brake light, speedometer, and horn, reducing the rider's ability to show turns, show braking, monitor speed, or alert nearby traffic. That loss increases the risk of a crash or injury. If these functions stop working, stop riding and contact a Honda dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024-2025 Honda CBR650R is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free turn signal switch wire harness inspection and repair, which fixes the wiring damage that can blow the fuse for the turn signals, brake light, speedometer, and horn.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician inspects the turn signal switch wire harness and repairs any harness damage found to prevent the short circuit and blown fuse condition. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Honda used its general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign. If you already paid for a related turn signal switch wire harness repair before the recall notice, ask Honda customer service or the dealer service desk what documentation is needed for reimbursement.
