Honda has announced a voluntary recall for a number of its models, to replace their faulty reflex reflectors.

The models that have been affected by this recall include the X-Blade, Hornet 2.0, H’ness CB350, Activa 5G, Activa 6G, Activa 125 BSVI, CB Shine and CB 300R manufactured between November 2019 and January 2021.

According to the company, the reflex reflector fitted in the recalled vehicles is at slight variance from the required photometric provisions. This results in insufficient light reflection efficiency. Although the impact of no vehicle visibility is insignificant, Honda will be replacing the reflex reflector as a precautionary measure and free of cost irrespective of the warranty status.

Dealers will notify customers via call, e-mail and SMS to get their vehicles inspected. Customers can also check if their vehicle is part of the recall by entering their unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the Honda 2 Wheelers and Honda BigWing websites.

Customers who have replaced the reflex reflector (part no. 33741KPL902) between December 2019 and April 2021 can approach their nearest dealership to get the part replaced free of cost.

Is this for the main headlamp unit? They could really do something about the BAD reflection angle from the DRL units! They are like mini Suns, shooting Lasers directly onto oncoming driver's retinas.

I thought reflex reflector was a part of the Honda activa's blinding LED headlights. Why even bother with this recall Honda, when you should actively be recalling lakhs of Activas for adjusting / changing those dangerous headlights !

No, thanks Honda. Keep your reflector, I'm good. This looks like a gimmick to get vehicles back into service and in circulation, post covid, showing a 50 paise reflector

What!

This is the most absurd reason for a recall I have read of!

Surely, there is more to it than meets the eye.

will Honda void warranty if the customer does not comply
