Honda Gold Wing GL1800 recall details
Honda has identified a potential issue in the primary drive gear fastening bolt of certain Gold Wing engines. Under some conditions, the bolt may break, causing subsequent engine stoppage.
As a precautionary measure, the replacement of the affected part will be carried out at BigWing dealerships across India starting from the third week of December. As is the case with voluntary recalls, the replacement will be done free of cost irrespective of the warranty status of the vehicle.
Honda, through its BigWing dealers will proactively notify customers for inspection of their vehicle. Gold Wing customers can also check if their vehicle falls under this campaign by submitting their bike’s VIN number on theBigWing website (www.hondabigwing.in).
The Gold Wing models have always been the pinnacle of Honda’s two-wheeler lineup and the current one with its 1,833cc horizontally-opposed six-cylinder motor continues that trend. At Rs 39.70 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the Gold Wing is the most expensive bike in Honda’s lineup.
