    Honda recalls Africa Twin bike in India over throttle glitch

    What's the story

    Honda has announced a recall of its 2022 CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycle in India, owing to a potential issue with the bike's throttle operation.

    The recall specifically affects units built between February and October 2022.

    The move comes as part of a larger global recall launched by Honda, to rectify the same problem on all affected units across the world.

    Issue

    Throttle glitch linked to wheelie control system

    The throttle operation problem has been linked to an unexpected activation of the bike's wheelie control system, which could potentially throw riders off balance.

    This issue is said to stem from a possible programming error in the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of the affected motorbikes.

    If not fixed, the glitch could trigger the sudden activation of the motorcycle's wheelie control during acceleration, endangering riders.

    Recall procedure

    Solution and customer support

    To fix the throttle operation problem, Honda will reprogram the ECU software in the affected motorcycles, free of charge, regardless of their warranty status.

    In India, the same will be conducted at BigWing Topline dealerships.

    Customers can check whether their vehicle is a part of this recall by entering their unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the Honda BigWing website.

    Past recalls

    Honda's previous recalls

    Notably, this isn't the first time Honda has issued a recall.

    Earlier, the company had recalled its GL1800 Gold Wing motorcycle for units built between March 2018 and May 2021.

    The issue pertained to a potential defect in the primary drive gear fastening bolt within certain engines, which was fixed by replacing the affected part.
