It is suspected that the sealant may have been applied incorrectly during assembly of the starter relay switch (which is a globally sourced part). This can increase resistance across the main fuse, potentially interrupting the motorcycle’s battery voltage to the electrical system.

An interruption of the electrical system battery voltage could cause the engine to A) not start or B) stall while riding, and in extreme case, the increased resistance at the main fuse could cause the starter relay to catch on fire, however, no such incident has been reported in any HMSI manufactured vehicle in India.

The concerned part will be replaced free of cost in the identified units irrespective of the warranty status of the vehicle across all India Honda Network. With this move, Honda globally reinforces its commitment in providing highest quality products and customer satisfaction.
