Within that volume, owners reported 1 crash, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2022 CRF1100 is electrical system with 2 filings, followed by fuel/propulsion system (2) and engine (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 77 investigation files overlapping the 2022 CRF1100, and 9 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2022 and 2024-2025 CRF1100 Africa Twin motorcycles. A software error in the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU) may cause an engine stall or a loss of power when the Wheelie Control feature is activated.

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. As such, these moto
I have completed the ecu update recall, I believe kr1, it has not been updated in the records yet. Independent of that there is an issue with the fueling system of my motorcycle. The vehicle hesitates at various times including but not limited to when pulling away from a stop. This cause me distress earlier today as the bike unnecessarily put me at risk crossing an intersection. It was at the dealer and they confirm the problem, they had it for a few weeks trying to resolve the issue with help from Honda. I donât believe any parts have been sent to Honda. It is a back and forth situation of try this and see if it helps. There are no lights indicating an issue on the motorcycle.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure.
Today, I attempted to turn left onto Indiana State Highway 12 and as I was turning my motorcycle lost all throttle. The result of losing throttle meant I fell over in the middle of the highway. After reaching 6mph, the throttle sputtered and the traction control light flashed. Thankfully, the drivers on the highway were paying attention. If they werenât, I could have easily died because cars travel at speeds of 50-60mph, even though the speed limit is 45mph. This is not the first time I have had this issue. On May 1, I had this issue at an intersection, but was able to avoid falling over. Unfortunately, it was not the case today. If Honda doesnât have a fix for what I believe is a software issue, I have serious concerns about the safety of my motorcycle. This is truly a life or death situation.
After having a warranty update to the ECU on the bike (Honda campaign #KP7) the first time I rode up a moderately steep hill, that I had ridden the bike up previously without issue, the bike stopped without warning on the hill, the engine stayed running but there was no drive to the rear wheel. I had to apply both brakes to keep from rolling backwards down the hill. I was in a very precarious position since the hill was too steep for me to dismount or turn around, After carefully considering my position I found that the bike would engage the transmission and was able to carefully release the brakes and paddle with my feet to get the bike moving and ride up the hill. I returned the bike to Nash Powersports in Mesa, AZ, who did the warranty update, they contacted Honda and at their direction reinstalled the update they offered to test ride it but the steepest hill they had access to was a freeway onramp, which wasn't steep enough to recreate the problem, they are located in a very large
TFT touchscreen has failed a few months after being purchased new, which means that ABS function cannot be reliably switched on or off by rider by using touchscreen. Honda dealer Santa Barbara Motorsport has inspected and confirmed functionality has been impacted by failed screen. Honda will not fix issue under warranty.
While traveling approx 15 mph, I pulled in the clutch lever to change gears and the engine lost all power, I had to pull over immediately and put the bike in neutral and turn the bike off and on again. I was in heavy traffic when the bike lost all power. Itâs only happened the one time and I havenât ridden much since then, and the dealer rode the bike and couldnât reproduce it. Thereâs apparently no official recall for manual 2022 Africa Twin, but there are multiple other Honda bikes of the same year that have similar issues with recalls. The dealer just rode the bike around and since he couldnât reproduce the issue, and since thereâs no recall for this model, then thereâs nothing they can do. There were no warning lights or indicators besides the RPMâs dropping to 0 and the bike acting as if I hadnât cranked it yet.
