The 2014 Honda GL1800 has two recalls, the most serious being a faulty airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the rider, with a risk of serious injury or death.
The second recall involves the rear brake master cylinder, which can cause the rear brake to keep dragging after the rider releases it. A dragging rear brake raises the risk of a crash, and if the condition continues over an extended ride, the heat buildup can start a fire.
