Honda recalls CB300R in India over crankcase cover issue

Honda hasn't revealed the exact number of CB300Rs that are affected by this issue.

Honda has issued a recall for select units of the 2022 CB300R in India over a crankcase cover issue.

According to the company, the right crankcase cover of the bikes may have a manufacturing defect, which may cause the sealing plug to come loose due to the heat-induced low retention force. This may result in the engine oil splashing out, which could in turn set the hot parts of the bike on fire. The hot oil could also cause injuries to the rider.

Honda will reach out to customers of the CB300R to notify them about the recall and get their bikes inspected at their nearest BigWing dealership. Customers can also enter their bike's vehicle identification number (VIN) on BigWing's official website to check if their CB300R is among those affected by this issue.

Honda has notified all dealerships across India to replace the affected parts on these bikes. The replacement of parts will be done free of cost even if the bike is out of warranty.
