Buying a used 2020 Honda GL1800? Check these 3 recalls first
For 2020 the Gold Wing carries three recalls: the critical engine bolt that may break and lock the rear wheel, the fuel pump stall recall, and a newer medium-severity software error that can also stall the engine. None were issued as stop-driving or park-outside. The complaint side is very quiet — a single unverified NHTSA report, touching power train, service brakes and engine, with no crashes, fires or injuries recorded for the year.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask whether the engine control software update from the stall recall was applied
- Verify the engine bolt and fuel pump recalls closed by VIN
- Check brake feel and pad life, one of the few areas an owner reported
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
