Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has announced a voluntary recall for the CB1000 Hornet SP in India to address two potential technical issues. 

  1. Recall affects units of the Honda CB1000 Hornet SP manufactured between September 30, 2024 and August 22, 2025
  2. Honda will inspect and rectify issues free of cost at BigWing Topline dealerships across India

The company says that one issue relates to the routing of the fuel feed hose, which may require inspection to ensure it remains properly secured under certain conditions. The second issue concerns engine oil consumption, which may vary due to the characteristics of some internal components and could require corrective action to maintain optimal engine performance.

As part of the recall campaign, Honda will inspect affected motorcycles and carry out the necessary repairs free of cost at authorised BigWing Topline dealerships across the country. The rectification process will include correcting the fuel hose routing and, if needed, replacing affected engine components.

Honda has stated that the repairs will be carried out irrespective of the motorcycle’s warranty status. Customers with affected motorcycles will be contacted by BigWing Topline dealerships via phone, SMS or e-mail starting from the date of the announcement. Owners are advised to book a service appointment in advance to avoid delays at dealerships. Customers can also verify whether their motorcycle is covered under the recall campaign by entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on Honda’s official website.
