Honda initiates recall for H’ness CB350 and CB350RS models in India
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has issued a recall for H’ness CB350 and CB350RS due to concerns related to a faulty brake light switch and bank angle sensor. The recall comes in response to potential safety hazards associated with these components.
One of the identified issues involves the rubber parts of the brake light switch, which may develop cracks, allowing water entry and subsequent corrosion. This could potentially lead to a malfunction of the brake light system. The recall encompasses bikes manufactured between October 2020 and January 2023.
The second issue pertains to the bank angle sensor, where “inappropriate molding” of the sensor housing may permit water ingress, leading to a malfunction. This, in turn, poses the risk of the bike stalling unexpectedly. Bikes produced between October 2020 and December 2021 are affected by this particular concern.
To address these issues, Honda has assured customers that it will replace the defective parts at no cost, irrespective of the warranty status of the affected motorcycles. The replacement process is set to commence at BigWing dealerships across India, starting from the second week of December. This proactive approach underscores Honda’s commitment to customer safety and satisfaction.
Owners of H’ness CB350 and CB350RS models falling within the specified manufacturing periods are encouraged to visit their nearest BigWing dealership for a thorough inspection and necessary replacements. This precautionary measure aims to eliminate potential risks associated with the identified brake light switch and bank angle sensor issues.
