Honda CB1000 Hornet SP: Honda has announced a voluntary recall campaign for the CB1000 Hornet SP, the fourth bike to join the company's BigWing lineup in May 2025. While the company launched the litre-class Hornet SP at Rs 12.36 lakh (ex-showroom) some months ago, it is currently priced at Rs 13.30 lakh (ex-showroom, Haryana). Honda's recall applies to select units of the litre-class bike manufactured in 2025. 

Honda CB1000 Hornet SP Recalled: Reason

The recall is part of a wider global recall covering the same Hornet SP model. Honda claims that the issue concerns the gear-shift pedal pivot bolt, which, when riding, may loosen and fall off due to 'excessive radiant heat' from the exhaust system softening the seat's painted surface. This could potentially affect gear shifting.
