Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has issued a voluntary recall campaign for the Honda H'Ness CB350. The company says that models manufactured between November 25 and December 12, 2020 may have a different material grade usage in counter shaft, in the 4th gear of the transmission, which may lead to a defect upon extensive running or usage of the motorcycle. However, so far, there are no cases of any failure reported stemming from this issue. The recall will begin from March 23, 2021 and customers with affected bikes will be notified and the issue will be fixed at authorised Honda BigWing workshops free of cost.
