2003 HONDA GL1800A Recalls (4)

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.
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:

Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic
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.
