The dealerships will be contacting the customers through call, email or SMS for an inspection of their motorcycle. Customers can also check if their motorcycle is affected or not by entering their VIN or Vehicle Identification Number on Honda BigWing's website.

A total of 84 motorcycles have been affected that have been manufactured between 2020 to 2022. This will be a ‘free of cost’ procedure so it will be done irrespective of the warranty status of the motorcycles. Honda will be starting communicating with customers from 3rd September 2022.
