HONDA GL1500 Recalls

The Honda GL1500 has 2 recalls across its 1988–1997 production run, with the more serious affecting 1988 models where a bank angle sensor can become porous over time, allowing its internal damping fluid to seep out and reduce the force the sensor exerts on its pendulum. The bank angle sensor is a safety device that cuts engine fuel in a severe lean or tip-over, so reduced damping could affect how reliably it responds. On 1997 GL1500C models, the rear turn signal's metal stay or rubber mount can fail and let the light shift out of position, making the signal invisible to drivers behind the motorcycle.
