New Delhi, Nov 21 (PTI) Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India on Thursday said it
is recalling certain units of CRF1100 Africa Twin to rectify issues with throttle operation.

The voluntary recall is aligned with the global market action, the two-wheeler maker said in a statement.

The recall affects certain units of this adventure motorcycle manufactured between February 2022 and October 2022, it said.
