2025 CB1000 Hornet SP: Honda's Got a Piston Problem
"Honda doesn't usually ship half-baked engines. This feels like a supplier QC miss caught too late."
— Revvly Take
Honda's issuing a recall on the new CB1000 Hornet SP over piston and ring specs that can starve the engine of oil, seizing the connecting rod bearing. It's the kind of catastrophic failure that ends rides permanently. Early production run issue—if you've got one, get it sorted before it turns into a $15K bottom-end rebuild.
