That gets said a lot but it wasn’t needed on all bikes. My 13 didn’t fall under the recall. I questioned the dealer when I bought it and also followed up with mother Honda. A person just needs to enter his VIN on the Honda website to find out if it was needed. A 15 should have been done before it was sold if it was.
These were the models and years under the 15V-700 NHTSA recall:
HONDA/GL1800/2001-2010, 2012-2015
HONDA/GL1800A/2001-2005
HONDA/GL1800B/2013-2015akes and years
Problem Description:
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.
Consequence:
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.
Remedy:
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.
Mine was a 2015 and had to be brought back for the new secondary master brake cylinder. Which the service department promptly eff'ed up, had to bring it back THREE effing times and they also ended up buying me a new rear brake caliper, after they stripped out the bleed port. Asshats.
