An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin) - Repair. Defect in the electrical wiring (left handlebar switch harness). Defective component (part name): Electrical wiring (left handlebar switch harness). Description and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: In the electrical wiring, terminals connecting wires in the left handlebar switch harness are improperly crimped. Repeated sliding of the harness caused by steering may wear the crimped portions of the terminals. Continued use may therefore cause the crimped portions to oxidize and increase in resistance, potentially preventing the horn from sounding or the high-beam headlight from illuminating. Published 2025-09-04.
What to do now
Recall notification number: 5716. Corrective measures: Replace the left handlebar switch harness in all vehicles with an improved part that has no crimped terminals between wires. Because supplying the improved parts will take time, change the routing of the left handlebar switch harness as an interim measure. Once parts are ready, issue a further notification and replace the harness with the improved part.
