2016 Honda Cb300 Safety Report

The 2016 Honda CB300 has a very limited safety record based on NHTSA data, with only 3 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 1 reported injury. This low complaint volume makes it challenging to identify widespread safety patterns. The most frequently cited component in complaints is the ENGINE, accounting for 2 out of 3 complaints. One complaint specifically mentions the motorcycle cutting off in a turn, leading to a loss of control, which resulted in an injury. Despite the low complaint count, a significant concern arises from the nature of the complaints. Two out of the three complaints directly reference a connecting rod bearing issue and a related recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V528000). Both complaints indicate that owners experienced vehicle stalling without warning and faced difficulties getting the recall repair completed due to part unavailability, suggesting a potential delay in addressing a critical engine safety defect. There are no official NHTSA safety ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover) available for the 2016 Honda CB300, which is common for motorcycles. The absence of recall history in the provided data contradicts the complaints, which explicitly mention a recall related to the engine. This discrepancy suggests that while a recall was issued for a similar model (CB300F), the provided data might not fully capture all relevant recall information for the CB300 or there might be confusion between similar models. The primary safety concern, based on the limited data, revolves around the engine stalling issue and the challenges in recall fulfillment.

Our recommendation: Given the limited data, potential buyers should be aware of reported engine stalling issues and verify if any outstanding recalls, particularly for connecting rod bearings (NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V528000), have been addressed on any specific unit.
