2. Reason for the recall
The main reason for this recall is related to the fuel pump in the EFI system, according to official information, the models involved may be affected by the fuel due to the insufficient resin sealing of the fuel pump impeller, which may cause the fuel pump to work poorly, so in extreme cases, it may lead to engine stalling and potential safety hazards.
In words that we can understand, it is the large-displacement motorcycle imported by Honda that is recalled in this round, because of the performance of the fuel pump seal ring or the oil seal itself, there may be insufficient fuel supply during the working process, which will cause the vehicle to stall.
3. Technical Analysis
As we all know, the fuel pump in the whole EFI system, belongs to the "power source", if its vacuum state is broken, there will be insufficient fuel pressure, the vehicle acceleration is weak, there is indirect flameout, the heavy can not be started directly.
Of course, the lack of pressure caused by the sealing of the fuel pump may not have such a big reaction, but it will still have a negative effect, after all, it has deviated from the original working conditions of the design.
Therefore, the recall operation made by Honda is absolutely necessary, and it is not a big fuss, so I hope that users who have relevant batches of models will not be too troublesome to pay attention to it and solve the hidden dangers as soon as possible.
4. Solution
Honda's solution is mainly to replace the fuel pump. However, the fuel pump of the GL1800 in the first part will be checked and confirmed before it will be replaced. The second and third parts of the relevant models will be directly replaced.
Simply put, it's a matter of checking the fuel pump and replacing it with a new one.
In fact, this kind of recall is not uncommon in the motorcycle sector, in recent years, there have been many brands of multiple models, for various reasons have had similar operations, so everyone can look at it rationally, there is no need to make it black and white.
All in all, this is the case, Honda's recall operation is both his obligation and the law compels him to do something, so the users of the vehicles involved do not have to be too depressed and entangled, just follow the official plan to go through the process, and the people who eat melons do not need to gloat, as an industrial product has some defects and deficiencies It is normal.
