NEW DELHI: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India on Friday said it is recalling around 2,000 CB300R bikes due to a manufacturing fault in the right crankcase cover of the engine. The voluntary recall covers the 2022 model of the CB300R motorcycle.
Honda has identified that due to an inappropriate manufacturing process of the right crankcase cover of the engine, there are chances of sealing plug dislodging due to low retention force caused by engine heat. This could cause the sealing plug to come off and engine oil to splash out, it added. In the worst case, the oil adhering to hot motorcycle parts may cause fire, its contact with tyres may cause slippage or it may injure the rider due to its hot temperature, the company said.
