Honda has issued a recall for its H’ness CB350 and CB350RS neo-retro roadsters, for concerns regarding the models’ brake light and bank angle sensor.
The company says that an improper process was followed during the manufacture of the rubber parts of the brake light switch, and it's developing cracks. This may lead to water entry and corrosion inside, leading to a malfunction of the light. Bikes manufactured between October 2020 and January 2023 are affected.
The other point of concern in this recall campaign is related to the bikes’ bank angle sensor. Honda claims this issue has arisen due to ‘inappropriate molding’ of the sensor housing, which can lead to a gap in sensor body sealing that could allow water to enter the bank angle sensor. This leads to chances of possible sensor malfunction and, in a worst-case scenario, the bike stalling. Units manufactured between October 2020 and December 2021 are affected by this issue.
Replacement of these affected parts will be carried out at BigWing dealerships across India starting from the second week of December, and will be done free of cost.
