Honda has trickled some info on their 2011 lineup , and I've gotta say there's not a whole lot of fresh product flowing in from Japan... at least, yet.

Of the twelve bikes confirmed for '11 so far, only the PCX scooter I reviewed a few months ago is all-new. In other news, the CRF250R and CRF450R motocross bikes receive a few mechanical updates, but apart from the Shadow RS's sweet new retro paint job (seen here, which is reminiscent of the 25th Anniversary VFR's red, white, and blue color scheme), we'll have to stay tuned for notable 2011 model releases from Honda.

To see what they've got brewing so far, take a look at this 2011 Honda Motorcycles Buyer's Guide, which will get updated with additional info as it becomes available.

The Japanese and European market Jazz Hybrid has been officially unveiled by Honda . The visual alterations from the standard model are slight, apparently down to tweaked bumpers and headlight glass and a unique Lime Green metallic color. The price premium, however, isn't. We're hearing a $4,700 premium over the standard Jazz. Still, that would be the low price baseline in the segment as far as hybrids are concerned in Japan.

The Jazz Hybrid features the same IMA hybrid drivetrain as the CR-Z and Insight , so don't expect Prius-slaying fuel economy numbers, though Honda claims they will be comparable to the smaller CR-Z.

Earlier this month Honda reiterated the fact that there were no U.S. plans for a Fit Hybrid. However, with the Insight and Civic Hybrid in obvious trouble , Honda devoted to hybrid powertrains and the Fit still a popular option on our shores, we wouldn't be surprised if that changed. After all, in December 2006 Honda said there wouldn't be a Fit Hybrid at all. The Fit Hybrid will make its formal debut at the Paris Motor Show next month, but you can have a look at it and the European Jazz Hybrid in the gallery of photos below.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on its website that Honda is recalling 585 2010 Element crossovers equipped with a manual transmission. The vehicles in question may have an improperly set cable that connects the shift lever to the transmission, an issue that could lead to anything from a major inconvenience for owners to the increased risk of an accident.

This defect may cause the gear shift lever to interact improperly with the transmission, leading to the wrong gear being selected. Affected vehicles could also get stuck in neutral, lose the ability to shift into reverse or fail to allow the key to be removed from the ignition.

Owners of the affected vehicles can bring their Element to the local Honda dealership for a free repair. Some owners have already been contacted about this issue, but all 585 will receive a notice from Honda by August 9. Element owners with questions or concerns can contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Hit the jump to read over the NHTSA press release.
