Honda CB300R recalled

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India announced a voluntary recall for specific CB300R units that were produced between 2018 and 2020. The recall was issued after the company identified a fault in the internal structure of the printed circuit board (PCB) inside the headlight. According to Honda, the core wires at the terminal roots could weaken over time, leading to a potential break. This could result in the headlight flickering or shutting off completely.

Replacement at No Cost

As part of the recall, Honda will replace the affected headlight components free of charge. The service will be carried out at Honda’s BigWing dealerships across India. The replacement will be provided regardless of whether the motorcycle is still under warranty.
