Honda models recall: What’s the issue
Honda has identified that due to an improper molding process, water could seep into the wheel speed sensor. This malfunction could result in inaccurate readings on the speedometer, as well as potential issues with the traction control and ABS systems . In more severe cases, the faulty sensor may compromise the effectiveness of the braking system.
In addition to the wheel speed sensor issue, Honda is also recalling specific units of the CB350, H’ness CB350, and CB350RS models manufactured between June and July 2024 for potential camshaft defects . The improper manufacturing process for the camshaft could lead to performance degradation, though no accidents related to this issue have been reported so far.
