American Honda Motor is recalling 126,000 model year 2001-2010 and 2012 GL1800 and 2001-2005 GL1800A motorcycles.
The rear brakes of the affected motorcycles may drag after the brakes are released, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, extended riding with the rear brake dragging could generate enough heat to result in a fire.
The remedy for this issue has not been determined. Honda will send owners an interim notification describing how to inspect their motorcycle for rear brake drag. A second notification will be sent when a remedy is available. The recall is expected to begin in September 2014.
Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870.
