Are there any updates to the GL1800 brake (secondary master cylinder) recall??
We haven't heard from Honda since the first recall, and don't expect to. The dealer that did the inspection reported that the Champion kit we have de-links the brakes and the recall doesn't apply.
Why do some people report the dealer just checked the MC and the SMC and said they were OK, and some say the dealer replaced the front and then others say they replaced them both??
Then they were cheated... the recall states that they BOTH must be replaced and the system flushed... no exceptions. It does not say... Check it... Look at it... Replace it if... IT SAYS REPLACE IT!!!
Appears that some dealers maybe using the bike Vin # to get paid by Honda for work they haven't done...I saw this happen many times when I worked as a mechanic for a Ford dealership back in the mid 60's...
Then they were cheated... the recall states that they BOTH must be replaced and the system flushed... no exceptions.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the secondary brake master cylinder and the rear brake master cylinder, and flush the brake fluid, free of charge. |
Yep. Even though it's triked out and possibly disconnected, Mother Honda wants it REPLACED.
Mine is in the shop right now having it done with a complete system flush...front and rear.
