2020–2025 Honda CRF1100 recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2020-2022 and 2024-2025 CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles. The left handlebar switch harness may corrode due to oxidation, resulting in the loss of horn function or the ability to switch the headlight from low beam to high beam. As such, these motorcycles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

💥 The risk

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.

Dealers will replace the left handlebar switch assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 20, 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is KS8. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 12, 2025.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
