American Honda Motor Company is recalling certain 2022, 2024, and 2025 Honda Africa Twin motorcycles due to an issue with the software programming in the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU). Under specific circumstances, this programming error could cause either engine hesitation or improper acceleration, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Approximately 4,205 motorcycles sold in the US could be affected, which represents around one percent of the population according to Honda. Affected 2022 Africa Twins were produced between September 22, 2021 and July 21, 2022. Affected 2024 and 2025 Africa Twins were produced between February 9, 2024 and October 11, 2024.
What's the issue? According to Honda, the affected software as it currently exists could miscalculate traction control settings while wheelie control is also engaged in certain riding situations. The problem, says Honda, relates to a software program being carried over from a different model as the OEM worked on its wheelie control feature for the Africa Twin.
