Why Honda is recalling its CB300R bike in India
What's the story
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has launched a voluntary recall for its CB300R bikes sold in India.
The recall comes over a possible issue with the internal PCB structure associated with the bike's headlight.
Over time, vibrations and other movements can lead to fatigue breaks in the core wires at the root terminals.
This could cause flickering or complete shutdown of the light, posing safety hazards during night rides.
Replacement
Honda to replace affected parts free of cost
The company has said that the replacement of the affected part shall be carried out at BigWing dealerships across India, free of cost, irrespective of the bike's warranty status.
Honda BigWing dealers will reach out to owners of the affected motorbikes over phone, email, or SMS.
Technicians will then inspect and carry out necessary repairs and replacements.
Buyers can also check if their CB300R motorcycle is part of this recall by visiting Honda BigWing's website.
