Summary
The Honda CRF250L has 2 recalls, both affecting 2018 model year motorcycles, where a wiring harness damaged during assembly can knock out turn signals, headlights, taillights, the horn, and the instrument panel, making the motorcycle much harder for other drivers to see.
When exterior lighting fails, the motorcycle loses its primary means of signaling and being seen in traffic, raising the risk of a collision, particularly at night or in low-visibility conditions. The horn loss removes an additional warning tool. Both recalls describe the same underlying wiring harness issue on 2018 models and are limited to that production year.
