Honda CBR300RA Recall Summary Honda is recalling 408 CBR300RA motorcycles because the engine may stall and fail to restart due to a defect in the crankshaft. The issue stems from improper machining of the crankpin hole combined with sulphur in engine oil and coolant traces that can corrode the connecting rod bearing, causing the bearings to slip. Honda will replace the crankshaft assembly on affected motorcycles.
