Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India today announced a voluntary recall for limited number of units of the 2022 year model CB300R. The company has identified that due to the inappropriate manufacturing process of the right crankcase cover of the engine, there are chances of sealing plug dislodging due to low retention force caused by engine heat.
This could further cause the sealing plug to come off and engine oil to splash out. In the worst situation, the oil adhering to hot motorcycle parts may cause fire, its contact with tires may cause slippage or it may injure the rider due to its hot temperature.
As a precautionary measure, the replacement of affected parts will be carried out at BigWing dealerships across India starting from 15th April 2023. The replacement will be done free of cost irrespective of the warranty status of the vehicle. This voluntary move is intrinsic to Honda’s pro-activeness, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening customer trust & confidence further enhancing the ownership experience.
The company, through its BigWing dealers, will proactively notify customers via call/e-mail / SMS for the inspection of their vehicle from today. Customers can also check if their vehicle falls under this campaign by submitting their unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the Honda BigWing website (www.hondabigwing.in). To avoid any inconvenience or waiting at the dealership, customers are requested to book their service appointment in advance as per their availability.
