Made-in-India Honda Navi recalled in the US due to a faulty speedometer cable

Honda Motor Company has issued a safety recall for 15,848 units of the Navi moto-scooter in the United States. The recall affects the 2022 model year iterations of the Honda Navi due to improper routing of the speedometer cable. In its filing with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Japanese two-wheeler giant said that the speedometer cable could break or detach which would render the speedometer inoperable. This could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
