Arizona motorcycle accident lawyers Mark and Alexis Breyer are warning motorcycle riders that there is a current recall for motorcycles. The recall was posted by American Honda. The products affected by this recall notice are the GL1800 models produced between 2001 and 2010 and the latest 2012 models.
As reported on Honda’s website, the recall stems from a defect in these models which, under certain circumstances, may cause the rear brake to drag as a result of the combined braking system’s secondary master cylinder. This increases the risk of crashing or may even result in the rear brake producing too much heat and catching fire.
Honda has advised motorcycle owners to have their motorcycles checked and make necessary replacements related to said defect, free of charge. Customers can use the dealer locator on Honda’s website to find the nearest Honda Dealer or call Honda Motorcycle Customer Support at 1-866-784-1870 for further assistance. Honda has also left additional contact information in the event that either a customer is dissatisfied with the service they have received related to the defect or if the rider is having recurring problems despite a replacement.
