Brake Recall

My 13 wasn't included in the recall. I'm not sure why Dave says it applies to all Gl1800's.

All 13's are included in the recall. Maybe yours was already done?

My 13 wasn't included in the recall. I'm not sure why Dave says it applies to all Gl1800's.

Everything I've read, seen, was told, indicated that ALL GL1800s from 2001 and up, specifically including 2013-2015 GL1800B

The following report is filed with the NHTSA:

Report Receipt Date: October 23, 2015
NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V700000
Component(s): Service brakes, hydraulic
Potential Number of Units Affected: 145,219
Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
THE RECALL: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2001-2010 and 2012-2015 GL1800, 2001-2005 GL1800A and 2013-2015 GL1800B motorcycles. The rear brakes of the affected motorcycles may drag after the brakes are released. ( CLICK HERE to see the 2014 recall announcement concerning GL1800 rear brakes .)
WHAT COULD HAPPEN: A rear brake that drags may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, extended riding with the rear brake dragging could generate enough heat to result in a fire.
THE FIX: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary brake master cylinder and the rear brake master cylinder, and flush the brake fluid, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is JV6. Note: This recall supercedes recall 14V-472.
MORE RECALL INFORMATION: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to safercar.gov.


If you feel that your dealer made an error, I urge you to type your VIN into this Honda website and see for yourself.

PS - If you bought your 2013 after 23 Oct, 2015 from a dealer (used or NOS), they probably already performed the recall for you.

I don't know what to say guys. The dealer says they didn't do it, it doesn't show on the service history, and it doesn't flag when the VIN is run. I bought the bike NOS last July. I think the key word is "certain" model year etc.... If it was all of them wouldn't it say Honda is recalling "All 2013-2015 GL1800B's"?

Running the VIN says no recalls on this bike. Would 1 of you guys that has had it done mind running your vin and see what the reply is. Id like to know if it comes back as "Service completed" or something like that.

As said here if your bike has not had the recall work done then it needs too.My 2013 had the rear brake lock up before I could get it in to have the work done.Let me tell you sliding around at 50mph to a stop was not fun.Had the recall done with a new rotor and rear brake pads that Honda covered because of the lock up.Brakes felt better then new after the recall work and are now trouble free.
