Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has issued a recall for five of its motorcycles - CB300R, CB300F, CB350 and the CB350RS for a variety of reasons. The company has found a potential defect for the wheel speed sensors and camshaft in these models due to an incorrect/faulty moulding process. These motorcycles were manufactured between October 2020 and April 2024. All motorcycles are sold through Honda's BigWing dealerships. The wheel speed sensor on all five models may be compromised and that could lead to malfunctioning of the speedometer and inefficient working of safety tech like traction control and ABS. These could potentially lead to accidents on the affected motorcycles.
