5 recalls across 4 model years
The Honda CRF250L has 5 recalls covering 2014 through 2020 model years, with the most serious affecting 2018 models where a transmission main shaft circlip can detach, causing the gearbox to jump from neutral into gear during engine start or the rear wheel to lock up while riding.
Recalls 2 and 3 both address the same underlying wiring harness issue on 2018 models, where the harness can be damaged during assembly and cause turn signals, headlights, taillights, the horn, and the instrument panel to stop working, reducing the motorcycle's visibility to other traffic. The 2020 model year has a separate lighting concern: the rear reflector lens may not reflect brightly enough, making the motorcycle harder for following drivers to see. On 2014-2015 models, sealant applied incorrectly to the starter relay switch can cause a loss of electrical power, which can stall the engine while riding.
