Honda Motorcycles Gl1800: Airbag May Fail To Deploy Correctly
Honda GL1800 Motorcycle Airbag Recall Summary Honda is recalling approximately 120 GL1800 motorcycles because the airbag inflators may degrade over time from heat and moisture exposure, causing them to overinflate if deployed. This overinflation can rupture the inflator and send metal fragments through the airbag cushion, potentially causing severe injury or death to the rider. Honda will replace the airbag on affected motorcycles.

- Product
- Vehicles: HONDA MOTORCYCLES GL1800. Units affected: 120
- Reason
- The propellant used in the subject air bag inflators may degrade over time due to heat cycles and exposure to moisture. In the event that the airbag is activated it may overinflate due to overly aggressive combustion of the propellant. The excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing severe injury to the rider and / or in worst cases a fatality. Remedy: Recall the machines that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag.
