Honda has initiated a voluntary recall for its motorcycles, the CB350 and CB350RS, aiming to rectify specific issues without any service charge for affected bike owners. This recall, scheduled in the second week of December at Honda dealerships, addresses concerns related to the rear stop light switch and bank angle sensor in certain batches of these bikes.
Issues Identified
The recall focuses on the replacement of rear stop light switches, manufactured between October 2020 and January 2023, due to reported complaints and subsequent deterioration of the rubber component. The flaw in the manufacturing process has caused water seepage into the light, resulting in damage. Additionally, bank angle sensors manufactured between October 2020 and December 2021 will also be replaced, addressing concerns linked to a manufacturing defect.
