Incident: March 8, 2026 · Filed: March 10, 2026

I recently took my 2008 honda goldwing vin: [XXX] to Broward Motorsports located at 2100 W Sunrise Blvd Suite 161, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311 to complete a brake drag recall. this recall to the best of my knowledge was NHTSA Recall Number: 15V-700 (JV6) to address the brake drag issue where the rear brake locks after pressure is applied to the rear brake pedal. After the recall was allegedly complete I noticed that the problem still persists and although the dealership states that both the master and secondary cylinders were replaced one was not. The secondary master cylinder is still the original and is most likely the issue of concern. No punch marks or signs of replacement are visible on the secondary master cylinder. I would like to have my motorcycle inspected by another dealership and if the initial recall was not properly completed I would like it to be completed in an urgent manner. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
