Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has announced a voluntary recall on three of its scooters in the country. The recall extends to the new Honda Grazia, Aviator, and Activa 125 scooters and involves a faulty front suspension component. Honda said that the recall affects a total of 56,194 units of these models. The manufacturer will be voluntarily inspecting the affected scooters and if required, will replace the suspected quality part. The recall does not affect the popular selling Honda Activa 4G or the new Activa 5G scooters in the company's line-up.

The issue has been identified as excessive hardness in bolt flange (10x42) mounted in the front fork. As a precautionary measure, Honda will be inspecting the affected models manufactured between February 7 and March 16, 2018. The two-wheeler manufacturer confirmed that the faulty part, if required, will be replaced free of cost on the recall vehicles irrespective of the scooter's warranty status.
