2003 HONDA GL1800 Recalls (8)

Campaign:: 02V340000 on 01/05/2003
Component:: Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump
Manufactured:: 04/15/2002 - 05/02/2002
Affected:: 660
Defect:: On certain motorcycles, the bank angle sensors designed to shut off the fuel pump and the engine electrical power in the event the motorcycle falls over, were installed using the wrong size screws allowing the screws to eventually detach from their mounting point.
Consequence:: If the sensor detaches, the engine will stop unexpectedly. sudden loss of engine power, especially while turning, could cause a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect the mounting screw size and, if necessary, install screws of the correct size. owner notification began december 23, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact honda at 1-800-289-8226.
Notes:: Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:: 03V350000 on 09/29/2003
Component:: Structure: frame and members:underbody shields
Manufactured:: 02/28/2002 - 09/09/2002
Affected:: 8,196
Defect:: On some motorcycles, certain frame welds do not meet manufacturing specifications. high loads created when riding on rough road surfaces or through potholes can cause the affected welds to crack.
Consequence:: The welded area could break, resulting in rear suspension collapse or lower cross member separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect and reinforce the welds on all frames. owner notification began during october 2003. owners should contact honda at 1-866-784-1870.

Manufactured:: 04/15/2002 - 06/23/2003
Affected:: 36,046
Defect:: Certain 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:: If 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.
Correction:: Dealers 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.

Component:: Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder

Affected:: 126,000
Defect:: Honda 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:: Unexpected 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.
Correction:: Honda 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.

Defect:: Kuryakyn is recalling certain aftermarket passenger floorboard mounts, part number 607005, sold and installed for use on 2001-2012 honda gl 1800 (goldwing) motorcycles. this mount was sold on kuryakyn 'transformer' passenger floorboard sets, part number 7005 from september 15, 2008, to present. the floorboard mount may crack and break free from the mounting bolts that secure the mount to the motorcycle.
Consequence:: The passenger floorboard may separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in injury or a crash.
