Honda NC750X recall: Problems with the front tire raise safety concerns

American Honda is recalling selected NC750X models built in 2024. The reason for this is a manufacturing defect in the front tire, which could increase the risk of an accident. On affected motorcycles, there is a possibility that the inner carcass cord of the tire could loosen or even separate, which could lead to structural damage to the tire. The defective tire was manufactured by Sumitomo. According to Honda, the problems occurred during a change in certain manufacturing processes, but these have since been rectified for series production vehicles.

Affected production period and scope of the recall

According to Honda, only NC750X models produced between February 4, 2024, and August 1, 2024, are affected. A total of approximately 112 vehicles are affected by the recall, which corresponds to about 30 percent of the units produced during this period. According to Honda, no warranty claims, injuries, or fatalities related to the tire defect had been reported as of June 19, 2025.

 

Stop sale order and service bulletins for dealers

As a precautionary measure, American Honda has issued an immediate stop sale order for all affected NC750XD models. Dealers in the US have been informed of the recall via a service bulletin. The current bulletin refers to the safety-related recall; a second bulletin, due to be published at the end of July 2025, will describe the exact test procedures for tire inspection in workshops. Vehicles produced from October 2, 2024, onwards will already have revised front tires ex works and are not affected by the recall.

 

Information for dealers and vehicle owners

Honda informed the affected authorized dealers about the recall on June 23, 2025. Vehicle owners will be informed by letter starting August 25, 2025, as soon as the necessary replacement parts are available at workshops. Affected owners will then be asked to contact their authorized Honda dealer to schedule an appointment for inspection and free replacement of the front tire.
