An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycles (Honda Gold Wing and others) - Repair. Due to a defect in the braking system (secondary master cylinder). ■ Defective part (component name): Braking system (secondary master cylinder). ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards, and its cause: In braking systems equipped with a function that links operation of the front and rear brakes (Dual Combined Brake System), the secondary master cylinder that transmits braking force from the front wheel to the rear wheel during braking has an unsuitable design. Zinc compounds leached from the brake hoses react with components in the brake fluid, producing compounds that may block the fluid passage used to release brake hydraulic pressure. As a result, the rear brake may drag. Continued riding in this condition may overheat the rear brake and, in the worst case, cause a fire. Published 2015-10-16.
What to do now
(Recall)3661 ■ Corrective measures: On all vehicles, replace the secondary master cylinder with an improved part. Also clean the brake lines and replace the rear master cylinder with a new one.
