Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has initiated a voluntary recall campaign covering 96 units of the Rebel 500 motorcycle manufactured between April 2025 and August 2025. The move forms part of a global recall campaign undertaken by Honda for specific Rebel 500 units.

The company has identified that the handle-lock fixing screw on the affected motorcycles may not have been tightened to specification during assembly. In certain circumstances, the screw may loosen, with the potential to affect steering movement.

As of 30 September 2026, HMSI reported zero related incidents in India. As a precautionary measure, the company will replace the handle-lock screw on all affected motorcycles free of charge, regardless of warranty status.

The recall campaign will commence in the first week of November 2026 across authorised Honda BigWing dealerships. Dealerships will contact affected owners directly via phone, email, or SMS to schedule replacement appointments. Owners can also verify vehicle coverage by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the recall section of the HMSI website.
