Honda CBR650R, CB1000 Hornet SP Recalled in India

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) also popularly known as Honda two-wheelers has issued a recall for select units of the Honda CBR650R and Honda CB1000 Hornet SP in the Indian market. The recall has been issued to address separate technical concerns identified on the two models. Owners of affected motorcycles are being contacted directly via call, SMS, and email. Customers can also verify whether their motorcycle is part of the recall by entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on Honda’s official website.

The recall for the CB1000 Hornet SP applies to select units manufactured between September 30th 2024 and August 22nd 2025. Honda has identified that, in some motorcycles, engine oil consumption may vary due to certain part-related conditions.

A drop in oil pressure may have an effect on normal engine operation if oil levels are not checked and maintained regularly. In order to resolve this issue permanently, Honda dealers will conduct inspections and carry out the necessary maintenance or part replacement.

According to Honda, certain CBR650R motorcycles manufactured between December 16th 2024 and May 4th 2025, may be affected by a potential electrical issue. The company has found that a wiring component related to the turn indicator system could come into contact with a metal part. Over time, vibration and friction may result in a short circuit.

Some of the motorcycle's lights might not work as they should if this happens, which would not meet the requirements of the regulations. Honda will inspect the affected units as part of the recall and replace the necessary parts to fix the problem.

Honda has advised customers whose motorcycles fall under the recall to visit their nearest BigWing Topline dealership for inspection. All recall-related inspections, repairs and part replacements will be carried out free of charge, irrespective of the vehicle’s warranty status. Owners are encouraged to check their VIN details and schedule a service appointment to ensure the issue is resolved at the earliest.
