I own a 2025 Honda Africa Twin 1100 DCT with approximately 7,300 miles. The rear brake pads became completely worn down to the metal pad-wear indicator clips. The rear brake caliper was pushing the brake pads into the brake rotor/disc, resulting in severe metal-on-metal grinding and extremely loud brake squealing. The issue occurred approximately one and a half weeks ago. There were no warning lights, warning messages, or other electronic warnings indicating that the rear brakes were experiencing excessive wear or a potentially dangerous condition. The condition created a significant safety hazard and resulted in multiple near-miss situations. The motorcycle’s braking performance was severely affected, and I experienced an increase in braking distance of approximately three times the normal distance. The motorcycle was inspected and repaired by a Honda dealership in El Cajon, California. The maintenance manager at Del Amo Motorsports in Chula Vista, California, stated that it is “very rare that rear brakes go out before the front, ESPECIALLY at 7,300 miles.” The removed brake components may be available for inspection. I can also provide photographs and documentation from the dealership that performed the repair. The original dealership also reported the issue to Honda. I believe this condition presents a serious safety concern because the rear brake system experienced severe premature wear and loss of braking performance at very low mileage without any warning light or elect

I own a 2025 Honda Africa Twin 1100 DCT with approximately 7,300 miles. The rear brake pads became completely worn down to the metal pad-wear indicator clips. According to maintenance personnel at MotorWorld in El Cajon, CA, the root cause was the rear brake caliper failing to retract to its original position after braking. This caused the pads to remain pressed against the rotor while riding, continuously wearing down the pads and rotor. The pads were eventually ground down to the clips, causing severe metal-on-metal contact, grinding, and extremely loud brake squealing. The issue occurred approximately 1.5 weeks ago. There were no warning lights, warning messages, or electronic warnings indicating excessive brake wear or a potentially dangerous condition. This created a significant safety hazard and resulted in multiple near-miss situations.
