HONDA GL1800A 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 10, 2005.HONDA GL1800A 2001, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER . while driving on interstate 10 in texas i drove on a rough area of the pavement. i then noticed oil coming from the front left fork shock seal. the oil was being "pumped out" through the shock oil seal that failed. oil was being sprayed into the radiator, windscreen, instrument panel,engine, front brakes & tires. i exited the interstate & as i attempted to stop i noticed the oil covered brakes did not allow the motorcycle to stop in a safe stopping distance. i used the gear down shifting to aid in stopping the motorcycle. the motorcycle is currently at pasadena honda service for inspection & to converse w/ the america division honda tech on responsibility for failure. before i left the motorcycle with the honda service, i removed the dust cover that is covering the failed oil seal & found a portion of the lip on the oil seal folded outward. i have several photos of the failed seal. when exercising the shock, oil would pump out of this area. **this is the second failure on the exact left front fork shock seal failure, as a possible anti-dive malfunction. this may allow the left shock to over pressure & force the rubber lip seal to roll outward & loosing the capacity. the last failure was in june 2004. honda did not/ would not cover the first failure under warranty. searching the internet i find that there are many left front fork shock failures happening. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 42995 miles.

HONDA GL1800A 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 11, 2005.HONDA GL1800A 2001, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SHOCK ABSORBER . the anti-drive system is mal-functioning & hydraulically locking the left front fork shock. this is allows the shock to over pressure & fail the sealing lip seal. the oil then is pumped out during the shock operation & the oil is covering the front brakes & tires. this creates a loss of traction from the oil covered tires & limited braking due to the oil contaminated brakes. personally i have had two exactly the same left front shock seal failures. #1 failure the motorcycle slipped & laid down on the garage floor when stopping. #2 failure the motorcycle had the brakes cover with oil at a speed of 70 mph, & i noticed an increase in the stopping distance & had to use "down shifting" to aid in the stopping. honda is only replacing the lip seal, not replacing the brake pads, & giving the motorcycle back to myself with reduced braking. also, honda is not looking into the "root cause" of these failures. .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43800 miles.
