The 2025 Honda CRF1100 has 3 recalls, the most serious being an engine oil leak that can coat the rear tire and cause the rider to lose control.
A crankcase sealing bolt may allow oil to drip onto the rear tire while riding, stripping traction from the contact patch at the worst possible moment. Separately tied in severity, a software error in the fuel injection control unit can cause the engine to stall or cut power when the Wheelie Control feature is active, leaving the rider without drive mid-corner or during acceleration. A third recall involves the left handlebar switch harness, where corrosion can build up and cause the horn to stop working or prevent the headlight from switching between low and high beam, reducing the rider's ability to signal or see clearly at night.
