2010 HONDA GL1800 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing has 4 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the rider, with the risk of serious injury or death. The airbag inflator issue appears across multiple recalls, with some filings limited to bikes originally sold or registered in high-humidity states and territories including Hawaii, Florida, Texas, and others in the southern U.S., while at least one filing covers a broader range of vehicles. In all cases, the concern is the same: the inflator can explode and throw sharp metal into the rider. There is also a braking concern: the combined braking system's secondary master cylinder can cause the rear brake to drag unexpectedly, which raises the risk of a crash and, if the dragging continues, can generate enough heat to ignite the rear brake.
