Buying a used 2021 Honda Crf1100? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls apply to this Africa Twin: the bike can stall when Wheelie Control is engaged, and the horn and high beam may fail. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Complaint volume is very low — 5 unverified owner reports to NHTSA, including one crash, with no fires or injuries — though small complaint counts are normal for motorcycles. What is filed clusters in electrical system, power train and engine, the same territory as the two recalls.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for dealer paperwork showing both recalls were completed
- Test the horn and high beam before and after a warm-up ride
- Ride with Wheelie Control active and watch for stalling
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
