All standard and SP versions of Honda’s CB1000 Hornet naked are to be recalled in the UK, following reports of excessive oil consumption by owners.
The announcement impacts all of the four-cylinder naked machines sold since their inception in late 2024, with customers now set to be contacted directly for the work.
“We are aware that concerns have been raised by a number of customers relating to excessive oil consumption in the CB1000 Hornet,” a statement from Honda UK read.
“Following a thorough investigation in collaboration with Honda Motor Co., Ltd (Japan), we are now instigating a safety recall. Customers will be contacted by direct mail with all relevant information.”
A spokesperson for the UK arm of the business went on to say that the cause of the problem was still under investigation however is believed to be related to the piston rings and piston specifications – potentially resulting in oil entering the combustion chamber.
