Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

NHTSA Safety Complaint — Narrative [XXX] ) Vehicle: 2022 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT Component: Engine — Oil Leak / Stator Cover Incident Date: April 2025 Mileage at Incident: 5,700 NARRATIVE: In late April 2025, I discovered engine oil leaking from the stator cover of my 2022 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT, specifically at the alternator wire grommet where the wires exit the engine case. The bike had been parked after a ride for approximately two days when the leak was noticed on the garage floor. This is a known manufacturing defect affecting the Honda Rebel 1100 and the Honda Africa Twin, which shares the same engine. The failure results from inadequate or improperly applied ThreeBond sealant at the triangular grommet/stator cover interface during factory assembly. Oil leaking in this area can contact hot engine components and poses a potential fire and safety hazard. The motorcycle has only 5,700 miles and was purchased new in August 2024. It has been garage kept, ridden in fair weather only, and maintained per Honda's recommended schedule. This is not a wear or maintenance issue — it is a factory assembly deficiency. The repair was performed on May 7, 2025 at [Dealership Name], Bardstown, Kentucky, at a cost of $245. Honda declined goodwill reimbursement (Case No. XXX). I am filing this complaint to create an official record of this defect. I believe this issue is underreported and warrants Honda's attention and a formal investigation. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Like most other Honda Rebel CMX 1100 motorcycles, my engine leaks oil. It is coming out where the stator wire goes in. This is fixed by replacing the stator since the wires do not separate. Honda warranty refuses to cover the cost of their failure. There is also a small rubber plug at the bottom of the frame that connects to the motor. This holds the entire motorcycle together. Like most others out there, it is rusted completely inside the frame. I have no way of knowing the extent of the corrosion in my motorcycle frame because the hole is too small for a borescope. Either way, all I can see inside the frame is rust with alot os rusty dust coming out. If something happens to me on this motorcycle, go after Honda please.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
