Mumbai, January 22, 2026: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has launched a voluntary recall campaign for select units of the CBR650R and CB1000 Hornet SP premium motorcycles. The move addresses separate safety and performance concerns identified in specific production batches, with all inspections and part replacements offered free of charge at authorised BigWing dealerships.
The recall affects CBR650R models manufactured between December 16, 2024, and May 4, 2025, and CB1000 Hornet SP units produced from September 30, 2024, to August 22, 2025. Owners of potentially impacted bikes are being notified directly via phone calls, SMS, and email to book inspections.
CBR650R Recall Details
For the CBR650R, the issue involves the turn signal (indicator) wiring assembly. A wiring component may come into contact with a metal part due to prolonged vibration during use. This friction could lead to a short circuit over time, causing some lights to fail and not comply with regulatory safety standards.
Honda has stressed that this is a precautionary step to ensure rider safety. Affected owners should get their bikes checked promptly to avoid any lighting-related problems.
CB1000 Hornet SP Recall Details
The CB1000 Hornet SP faces a concern related to engine oil consumption. Certain part-related conditions may cause higher-than-normal oil use, leading to fluctuations in oil pressure. If oil levels are not monitored and topped up regularly, this could affect normal engine operation.
This recall aims to prevent potential long-term engine issues through early detection and necessary fixes.
What Owners Should Do
Honda recommends checking if your motorcycle is part of the recall by entering the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the official Honda2Wheelers India website under the product recall section.
Once confirmed, schedule a visit to the nearest authorised BigWing dealership for a free inspection and any required part replacements. The process applies even if the bike is out of warranty.
No accidents or injuries have been reported linked to these issues so far, according to available reports.
Why This Matters for Riders
These premium Honda models are popular among enthusiasts in cities like Mumbai for their performance and build quality. The proactive recall reflects Honda’s focus on maintaining high safety and reliability standards in the Indian market.
For owners in Maharashtra or elsewhere, this is a straightforward process with no cost involved. It also serves as a reminder to regularly check official channels for any updates on your vehicle.
If you own a CBR650R or CB1000 Hornet SP from the specified production periods, verify your VIN today and book an appointment if needed. Stay safe on the roads—keep following updates from Honda or trusted auto sources for the latest.
