Honda GL1800 Goldwing
Published 13 February 2017
Product
The Honda GL1800 Goldwing is a long distance, luxury touring motorcycle with an 1800cc engine.
Why it was recalled
Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
Hazard
In the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle rider, causing serious injury or fatality.
