American Honda is recalling certain 2024 NC750X motorcycles due to a manufacturing defect with their front tires. On affected units, the interior ply-cord inside the tire could loosen and unravel, which could lead to accelerated structural damage. The tire in question was made by Sumitomo, which was changing certain processes at the time, which may have contributed to this issue but have since been rectified in production bikes.
Only units produced between February 4, 2024 and August 1, 2024 are included in this recall. Approximately 112 motorcycles may be affected, representing around 30% of the population according to American Honda's records. As of June 19, 2025, Honda has so far not received any warranty claims or reports of injuries or deaths related to this issue.
However, out of an abundance of caution, American Honda has placed a Stop Sale notice on affected 2024 NC750XD motorcycles and has issued an official Honda Service Bulletin to this effect through its internal dealer network in the US. This is the first of two planned Honda Service Bulletins regarding this issue, and covers the Safety Recall portion. The second part is expected in late July 2025 and will cover the dealer front tire inspection procedure, where authorized Honda technicians will inspect and replace the front tires on affected motorcycles.
