January 2025 Newsletter
Here is an important notice to people owning or looking to own a 2018 through 2021 Honda Goldwing. In October 2024, Honda issued a No Sale order on 2018~2021 Honda Goldwings. On November 11, 2024 Honda and NHTSA issued a Safety Recall of these machines. Honda is recalling certain 2018-2021 GL1800 Goldwing motorcycles. Read the 2018~2021 Goldwing Recall Notice
In February of 2024 we all learned of the fuel pump issues with the 2018 ~ 2024 Goldwings. The Recall notices are on our Goldwing Technical Service Bulletins page.
Important Warning to 2018+ Gold Wing owners, Do NOT jump start a 2018+ model Wing without first pulling the 15 amp audio fuse. Failure to do this could result in a burned up audio unit. For further info and to see what others in the world say about this issue, go to this GL1800 Owners Group Forum posting GL1800 Riders Jump Start Warning
Now, take a look at the video below by Fred Harmon concerning his offer to repair your audio unit if you suffer such a problem on your 2018+ Gold Wing.
The NEW 2025 Honda Goldwing is on the Honda Powersports Website.
