Honda has issued several stop-sale orders and recalls in 2024–2025 due to safety defects (faulty fuel pumps on Gold Wings and CBRs), emissions compliance issues (Grom 125 and 300L), and potential, faulty switches on Africa Twin models. Additionally, poor sales for certain models have led to dealers pulling stock, and some, like the Super Cub 50, are being discontinued.
