- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2021 GL1800 Goldwing motorcycles. The primary drive gear bolt on the crankshaft may break, which can result in an engine stall and lock up the rear wheel.
- What it can cause
- An engine stall and rear wheel lockup can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the primary drive gear bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 30, 2024. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is KQ9.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 18,196 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 19 times before this, most recently in November 2023 as 23V751000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, 42 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the engine and engine cooling, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 24V113000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V449000 (engine and engine cooling).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on October 31, 2024 as campaign 24V820000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
