What's wrong
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2020-2022 and 2024-2025 CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles. The left handlebar switch harness may corrode due to oxidation, resulting in the loss of horn function or the ability to switch the headlight from low beam to high beam.

Consequence
The inability to use the horn or switch the headlight from low beam to high beam can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
