Honda is recalling certain 2006-2009 and 2012 Honda GL1800 (Goldwing) motorcycles sold or registered in specific regions across the United States and U.S. territories. The motorcycles are equipped with front passenger-side air bag inflators that may rupture during deployment in a crash due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes. If an inflator ruptures, metal fragments may strike the operator, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Honda will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the air bag module at no charge. The recall began in February 2017. Owners of affected motorcycles should contact Honda Motorcycle Customer Support at 1-866-784-1870 to arrange service. Honda's reference number for this recall is KE5.
