Consumer Description

ON MY 2001 HONDA GOLDWING GL1800 MY FRAME IS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE ABOVE THE PASSENGER FOOTREST. THIS CRACK WAS FOUND TODAY SEPT.22 2008. I WAS TOLD TO GO AHEAD AND REPORT THIS PROBLEM WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT. I WILL BE CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA AS SOON AS I GO TO MY DEALER AND LET THEM INSPECT MY MOTORCYCLE. I DO NOT WANT MY FRAME PATCHED UP. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF ON ALL OF THEIR 2001 THROUGH 2004 HONDA GOLDWINGS. THE ONLY REPAIR IS A FRAME REPLACEMENT WITH AN UPDATED FRAME. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE HAD A FRAME RECALL IN 2002 WHICH HONDA DID A PATCH REPAIR REWELD ON THE UNDERNEATH CROSSMEMBER. *TR
