Honda CBR650R, CB1000 Hornet SP Recalled in India

The recall for the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP is primarily due to excessive heat from the exhaust system, which can soften the painted seat surface. This could lead to the change-pedal pivot bolt loosening and detaching while riding, potentially affecting gear shifting and posing safety risks.

The Honda CBR650R's recall is due to a potential electrical issue where a wiring component related to the turn indicator system may come into contact with a metal part. Over time, vibration and friction can cause a short circuit, leading to malfunctioning lights, which compromises safety and regulatory compliance.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India contacts affected motorcycle owners directly via calls, SMS, and emails. Additionally, owners can verify if their vehicle is part of a recall by checking the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on Honda's official website. All recall-related inspections and repairs are conducted free of charge at authorized dealerships.

Recently, Honda has recalled several 300-350cc motorcycles, including the CB300F, CB300R, H’ness CB350, and CB350RS, due to issues with wheel speed sensors and camshaft components. These recalls were initiated to address safety concerns stemming from manufacturing flaws that could affect braking efficiency and overall performance.

The Honda CB1000 Hornet SP features enhanced specifications compared to the standard CB1000 Hornet, including a more powerful engine output of 155 bhp, Ohlins TTX36 rear suspension, and Brembo Stylema brakes. Additionally, it offers a customizable riding mode and exclusive color options, providing a more premium experience.
