If you own a front disc-equipped CBS version of the Honda Activa 125, Aviator, Grazia or the CB Shine, then there might be a possibility that your vehicle could be called in for a quick change of parts as the bike manufacturer has recalled 50,034 units of these vehicles. The recall has been ordered as there are some quality issues in the front brake master cylinder, which could result in difficulty in the rotation of the front wheel and may further lead to wheel jam in extreme cases.
