What's wrong?
The FI-ECU on the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 Honda CRF1100 is the motorcycle's fuel injection electronic control unit. It reads inputs from the engine and rider aids, then controls fuel delivery and ignition so the engine responds predictably when you open or close the throttle. Wheelie Control is one of the features that depends on that software.
On affected CRF1100 motorcycles, Honda says software for the Wheelie Control feature was carried over from a different model and was not fully validated for this motorcycle. When Wheelie Control is activated, the FI-ECU can command the wrong response. That software error can cause abnormal acceleration, an engine stall, or a loss of power.
The warning sign Honda identifies is abnormal acceleration when Wheelie Control is enabled. If that happens, the motorcycle is already showing the condition tied to this recall.

Spans the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 model years, with the same PGM-FI/IGN control unit tied to the electrical system software and fuel injection system.
