I got an e-mail from a Goldwing owner in the UK about a new recall for the GL1800. Apparentlty full details are on the GWRRA site, but I'm not a member there so I can't find it. The info I got in the e-mail is ;
"January 14, 2005
"American Honda is conducting a SAFETY RECALL on affected models per the VIN
ranges listed on attached table. The recall will inspect the Proportioning
Control Valve (PCV) on vehicles equipped with linked or anti-lock brakes. In
limited circumstances, the existing proportioning valve could develop a leak
Over time, the leak could result in a total loss of fluid from the rear
brake system. If the motorcycle continues to be used after a leak occurs the
rear brake would eventually become inoperative. In worst case, the loss of
rear brake force may cause a crash."
"The instructions and procedures necessary to repair the affected
motorcycles will be available the week of January 24th... Parts required to
perform these repairs if a leak is found will be available later that same
week."
"American Honda will mail a notice of this Recall to owners of all affected
motorcycles."
This affects certain VINs of 2002-2004 GL1800/A's, 2002-2003 CBR1100XX,
2002-2004 VFR800/A's, and 2003-2004 ST1300/A's. The affected VIN's for ST
are:
2003 ST1300 - JH2SC511*3M100002 ~ 101443
2003 ST1300A- JH2SC514*3M100002 ~ 100798
2004 ST1300 - JH2SC510*4M200001 ~ 201352
2004 ST1300A - JH2SC513*4M200001 ~ 200808"
