   Safety recall By honda for contamination of fuel system bought used as in motorcycle from powersports dealership, knowing of the recall asked if dealership completed recall, dealer said yes could not provide documentation of completing said recall. With that there was an all stop-No sale of the model with contamination of fuel system recall, dealer chose to ignore warning and all stop no sale my NHSTA and manufacture. was riding motorcycle in moderate traffic when abruptly the rear wheel locked up around 35-45mph caused me to control bike with rear wheel locked up about 50ft almost causing a car to hit me from behind, untill I made it to the shoulder of the road, no warning lights on system for fuel pump issue and bike would continuously stall out on occasion causing un-necessary wear on drivetrain and tires. Only after taking bike to a different dealership did they look into seeing if the recall was done, from they're records and information the recall was never done, bike went into shop July 24 2024 and have been awaiting call back for additional work to be complete, such as tires due to fuel pump going out, and fork seals due to weight of motorcycle lunging forward when rear wheel was locked up.

   ENGINE STALL - ENGINE CHOCKING IN THE MIDDLE OF crossroads. I was luck enough the car driver stopped the car before crashed into me. I brought 2 times the motorcycle to the dealer. First time they said there was a problem with a cylinder and they changed spark plug and injectors. Second time ( motorcycle was at the shop for 32 days ) Honda manufacture technicians said the motorcycle was fine to ride. For a reason I don`t know they don't want address this problem. In February 2021 there was a recall for my motorcycle model ( 2019 Africa twin )

   MATERIAL IS FLAKING OFF THE WELD SEAMS OF THE FUEL TANK AND CLOGGING THE FILTER. I HAD NOT EXPERIENCED PERFORMANCE ISSUES YET, BUT OTHER HAVE REPORTED THE FILTER BECOMING COMPLETELY CLOGGED, STALLING THE ENGINE. I REMOVED THE FILTER, CLEANED IT AND REINSTALLED. THERE IS STILL MORE MATERIAL ON THE WELD SEAMS THAT COULD FLAKE OFF. THE FLAKES IN THE DRAIN PAN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO CAME FROM THE TANK. THE OTHER PHOTOS ARE OF THE INSIDE OF THE TANK AND THE FUEL FILTER.

   AFRICA TWIN ADVENTURE SPORT WOULD SOUND LIKE IT HAD A MISFIRE, AND WHEN THE THROTTLE IS TWISTED THE BIKE WILL HESITATE AND MAKE A POPPING SOUND. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT OCTANE RATINGS AND I'M STILL HAVING THE ISSUE REGARDLESS. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE THE BIKE HESITATES AND MAKES A POPPING SOUND. THE ISSUE OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY RIDE AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. PURCHASED THE AFRICA TWIN NEW AND I'M HAVING ISSUES AT 2,000 MILES. FOR THE POPPING OR HESITATION TO OCCUR IT CAN HAPPEN AT STAND STILL OR ON THE MOVE. THERE IS NO WARNING TO WHEN THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN. WHETHER AT SPEED OR AT A STAND STILL WHEN THE THROTTLE IS TWISTED THE BIKE WILL POP AND HESITATE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ISSUE OF HONDA'S FUEL SYSTEM. MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. ON THE INNER LINING OF THE FUEL TANK WHITE FLAKES COME OFF THE TANK AND MIX WITH THE FUEL, THEN CREATING AN ISSUE FOR THE FUEL PUMP. SOUNDS LIKE THE BIKE IS BEING STARVED OF FUEL, AND I AM SUSPECTING IT IS THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR

    FOR THE 4TH TIME IN THE LAST YEAR MY BIKE HAS HAD FUEL DELIVERY CUT OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS CAUSED A HUGE LOSS OF SPEED AND MOMENTUM, AND ALMOST LEAD TO ME BEING HIT BY A CAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE BIKE LURCHES VIOLENTLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IN EVERY CASE I HAVE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE BIKE DOWN. I SHIFT THE BIKE DOWN, WAIT AND RESTART. IN EVERY CASE THE BIKE HAS GONE A FEW MILES THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, REPEATEDLY. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID I PROBABLY HAD BAD FUEL, AND TO TRY AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN CANADA 2 MONTHS LATER. AND AGAIN ON THE WAY BACK TO MINNESOTA. THIS TIME HE DEALER CHECKED FOR COMPUTER ERRORS, SAID I HAD ONE AND THAT THEY CORRECTED IT. TODAY ON MN HWY 10 THE FUEL CUT OUT AT 70 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING MY WIFE TO RUN INTO ME. THIS IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE, AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A ONE YEAR OLD BIKE. *TR

    2019 HONDA AFRICA TWIN ADVENTURE SPORTS. POOR RUNNING CONDITIONS DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER AND/OR STALL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS BECAUSE IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN TIMES OF ACCELERATION WHEN PASSING. ONE PARTICULARLY UNSAFE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD CROSSED THE DOUBLE YELLOW TO ATTEMPT A PASS AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER RATHER THAN ACCELERATE. I ALSO HAD IT STALL AND DIE WHILE TRYING TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. HONDA'S "FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE IS QUESTIONABLE AT BEST. IT IS UNPROVEN AS TO WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A LONG TERM FIX AND RESULTS IN A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE REPAIR. NOTE THE ATTACHED WORK ORDER "CLEANED THE TANK AS BEST I COULD WITH SCOTCH BRITE IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN INSIDE OF FUEL TANK PER HONDA." NOBODY KNOWS IF THIS IS REALLY A FIX, INCLUDING HONDA. ONLY TIME WILL TELL AND THAT IS NOT A GOOD SOLUTION SINCE THE ISSUE CAN BE SO DANGEROUS. I FEEL HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS THROUGH A PROPER AND PROVEN SAFETY RECALL. THE ISSUE IS MOST COMMON UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, BUT IT HAS ALSO EXHIBITED THIS BEHAVIOR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING, WHILE IDLING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, TURNING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, ETC.
