DECEMBER
2011
-- 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. 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.
Honda will notify owners,
and dealers will inspect the
secondary master cylinder
and if necessary, replace
it, free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to
begin on or about january 4,
2012. Owners may contact
Honda customer service at
1-866-784-1870. Honda's
recall campaign number is
s03. 11V-567

model year 2010 NT700V motorcycles manufactured from November 26,2009, through

incorrect tire size and air pressure specifications. Improper inflation of tires
may affect vehicle handling and lead to premature tire failure, increasing the
risk of a crash. Honda will mail the correct tire information label along with
installation instruction. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the
installation for them free of charge. The safety recall began on November 10,
2011. . 11V-526

model year 2010 and 2011
VT750 motorcycles produced
from June 25, 2009, to March
28, 2011. The bank angle
sensor may be incorrectly
manufactured creating the
possibility of an erroneous
reading which could cause
the engine to stall. An
engine stall, while the
motorcycle is being
operated, may increase the
risk of a crash. Honda will
replace the affected bank
angle sensors. The recall is
expected to begin during

manufactured from December
17, 2009 through May 24,
2010, fail to conform to the
certification requirements
of Part 567. The gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) is
incorrect. An owner may be
lead to believe from the
incorrect information the
motorcycle can carry more
weight that it is certified
to carry, resulting in an
overloaded condition which
can increase the risk of a
crash. The owners of all
affected motorcycles will be
mailed a letter containing a
durable correction sticker
and installation
instructions. If the owner
prefers that the dealer
apply the sticker, they will
be instructed to take their
motorcycle to a Honda dealer
who will apply the corrected
label free of charge. The
