Defect SummaryCertain motorcycles equipped with combined-brake systems have a proportioning control valve (pcv) that mechanically proportions brake force when the rear brake is applied. a seal in some pcvs is improperly shaped, and brake fluid leakage may occur.
Consequence SummaryIf the motorcycle continues to be used after a leak occurs, the rear brake would eventually become inoperative. a loss of rear brake force could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect the rear brake forleakage. if leakage is confirmed, the dealer will replace the pcv free of charge. the recall began on january 31, 2005. owners may contact honda at 866-784-1870.

Defect SummaryHonda is recalling certain model year 2001-2010, and model year 2012 gl1800 goldwing motorcycles. under certain conditions, there is a possibility that the combined braking system's secondary master cylinder may cause the rear brake to drag.
Consequence SummaryUnexpected braking increases the risk of a crash, and riding the motorcycle with the rear brake dragging may generate enough heat to cause the rear brake to catch fire.
Corrective SummaryHonda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the secondary master cylinder and if necessary, replace it, free of charge. the safety recall began on january 6, 2012. owners may contact honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870.
