2023 Honda Rebel 300: Crankcase plug recall (narrow production window)
EVIDENCE: REPAIR-INDUSTRY CONSENSUS
What goes wrong
A localized recall covering 2023 Rebel 300s built in a narrow window (roughly September to November 2022), traced to a supplier failing to mask properly during painting. Only bikes from that window are affected.
NHTSA's recall index does not recognise the model string "Rebel 300" , which happens constantly with motorcycles, because recalls are often filed under a model code rather than the marketing name. That is not the same as "no recalls."
Look this VIN up directly at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you assume it is clear.
What to do about it
On any used motorcycle, check the tire DOT date codes, ask for the valve service receipt, and look for drop damage on both sides before you talk about price.
