If you're the owner of a 2025 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP, there's a new safety recall that's been issued by American Honda Motor Company for units produced between September 30, 2024 and August 22, 2025.
The problem relates to a potential oil starvation issue that could lead to a connecting rod bearing seizure in the engine. If that description of the end result sounds familiar, it's because there's also a different recall from Honda about a similar issue with certain CBR600RRs right now, but the cause is something different in this case, which I'll explain in a moment.
With the 2025 Honda CB1000 Hornet SP recall, approximately 452 individual motorcycles may be affected, according to Honda's records. It's unclear what percentage of the total population this represents, as that information isn't included in the recall documentation.
