Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India recalls CB300R motorcycles due to headlight issue, offering free replacements at BigWing dealerships.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) is recalling certain units of CB300R motorcycle to rectify an issue with headlight.

“Aligned with the global market action, the company has announced a voluntary recall for CB300R motorcycle, manufactured between 2018 to 2020,” the two-wheeler major said in a statement.
