Honda CB300R Recalled Over Faulty Headlight

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has issued a voluntary recall for the CB300R manufactured between 2018 and 2020. The recall is to check and rectify an issue with the motorcycle’s headlight, which could cause it to stop working. Honda says the headlight unit's printed circuit board (PCB) and core wiring in affected units could be subject to fatigue-related failure, causing the headlamp to flicker or entirely shut off. The company did not reveal the number of units affected by the recall.
