This recall affects bikes manufactured between October 2020 and April 2024, and it addresses critical safety concerns related to the wheel speed sensor and camshaft.
Details of the Recall
Honda’s recall impacts a wide range of their 300cc and 350cc motorcycles. The primary issue involves the wheel speed sensor, which has been found to have a defect due to improper moulding processes.

Such malfunctions could lead to ineffective braking, posing a significant safety risk to riders.
Additionally, the recall addresses a camshaft issue in the CB350, CB350RS, and H’ness CB350 models. The camshaft defect, resulting from improper manufacturing, could affect the optimal performance of these motorcycles.
