What's wrong, in plain English

Honda is recalling certain CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles because of a software error in the engine's fuel injection computer, known as the FI-ECU. This error is tied to a feature called Wheelie Control. When a rider turns that feature on, the software problem may cause the engine to stall or lose power while the motorcycle is being ridden. In short, riding with Wheelie Control switched on can make the fuel injection system act up, causing the engine to stop running or produce less power partway through a ride.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your motorcycle is included.
2. Contact a Honda dealer to schedule the free repair; Honda customer service can be reached at 1-866-784-1870.
3. The repair, reprogramming the FI-ECU software, is free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V882000.
