Consumer Description

I DISCOVERED FRAME CRACKS ON MY 2001 HONDA GOLDWING GL 1800, ON 16 APRIL, 2008. THE FRAME CRACKS ARE LOCATED BELOW THE PASSENGER FOOT REST ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. THE CRACK BEGINS IN A WELD AND DESCENDS INTO THE FRAME. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA ON 16 APRIL TO SEEK GUIDANCE AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THE MOTORCYCLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO THE HONDA DEALER IN SAVANNAH, GA. ON 19 APRIL, 2008. THE SERVICE MANAGER PERFORMED AN INSPECTION AND SENT PHOTOS TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THE DECISION TO REPLACE THE FRAME WAS MADE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER ON 17 JUNE, THAT THE FRAME HAS BEEN REPLACED. I WILL PICK UP THE MOTORCYCLE ON 18 JUNE, 2008. HONDA HAS TAKEN FULL RESPONSIBILITY. I JUST WANTED TO ENSURE THAT THIS DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED. MY FRAME IS NOT THE FIRST THAT HAS EXPERIENCED CRACKS IN THE SAME LOCATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
