Buying a used 2025 Honda Crf1100? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2025 adds a high-severity recall the earlier Africa Twins do not have: engine oil may leak onto the rear tire. The Wheelie Control stall recall and the horn and high beam recall both carry over, and none of the three includes a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Only 4 unverified owner complaints are on file, with no crashes, fires or injuries — expected for a recent model year — and three of those four fall under service brakes.
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.
- Inspect the rear tire, wheel and swingarm for oil residue
- Confirm the oil leak and Wheelie Control recalls are closed by VIN
- Check brake pad thickness, fluid condition and stopping feel
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
