Honda has announced a recall campaign in India affecting two of its premium motorcycles, the CBR650R and the CB1000 Hornet SP. The company has confirmed that the recall is being carried out for separate issues on each model, and owners of the affected units are being contacted directly via phone calls, SMS, and email to schedule inspections. Additionally, customers can verify whether their motorcycle is part of the recall by entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on Honda's official website.
For the CBR650R, Honda has identified a potential issue with the turn signal assembly. In certain units, a wiring component may come into contact with a metal part, and prolonged vibration could eventually cause a short circuit. This fault may result in some lights failing to operate, which does not comply with regulatory safety standards. According to Honda, CBR650R motorcycles manufactured between December 16, 2024, and May 04, 2025, could be impacted by this defect.

Meanwhile, the CB1000 Hornet SP has been recalled due to concerns related to oil consumption. Honda has stated that in some units, oil usage may vary because of specific part-related conditions. If riders do not regularly monitor oil levels, fluctuations in oil pressure could affect the engine's normal functioning. The recall applies to CB1000 Hornet SP motorcycles produced between September 30, 2024, and August 22, 2025.
