Honda recalls 2020-2022 and 2024-2025 CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles due to potential horn or headlight switch failure, which could increase crash risk. Owners must contact Honda for free replacement of the left handlebar switch assembly.
The inability to use the horn or switch the headlight from low beam to high beam can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Honda is recalling certain 2020-2022 and 2024-2025 CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles because the left handlebar switch harness may corrode, causing horn or headlight switch failure. This could increase the risk of a crash or injury if the rider cannot switch lights or use the horn.
The left handlebar switch harness can corrode due to oxidation, causing the horn to stop working or the headlight to fail between low and high beams. This creates a risk of crash or injury because riders may not be able to alert others or adjust lighting in low-visibility conditions.
Owners of 2020-2022 and 2024-2025 Honda CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles are affected. Riders who rely on the horn or headlight switching for safety are most at risk.
