The 2020 Honda CRF1100 Africa Twin has 4 recalls, the most serious being an ECU software fault on DCT-equipped models that can cause the engine to stall or suddenly drop drive power while riding, raising the risk of a crash.
On the braking side, the anti-lock brake system modulator on certain motorcycles can lose pressure, reducing braking performance and extending stopping distances. There is also an electrical concern: the wiring harness for the left handlebar switch may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the horn, the high-beam headlight, or both to stop working, reducing the rider's ability to be seen or to warn other road users.
