THE FUSE HOLDER CONTACT SPRING ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES IS DEFECTIVE IN THAT IT CAN CAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURES TO DEVELOP AT THE FUSE, AND THE FUSE MAY FAIL. FAILURE OF THE MAIN FUSE WOULD CAUSE ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS TO CEASE, INCLUDING LIGHTS AND IGNITION. Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL A FUSE BOX WHICH CONTAINS A MORE EFFECTIVE SPRING, AT NO COST TO OWNER.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

This condition would cause a loss of all electrical functions including engine ignition and all lights. This condition would cause a loss of all electrical functions including engine ignition and all lights. Loss of engine ignition will cause a sudden loss of power which could affect the rider's ability to control the vehicle.
On certian CB750F, GL1000 and GL1000LTD, when the rear disc brake is applied during vehicle operation in heavy rain, there may be a noticeable initial reduction in braking effectiveness followed by a gradual recovery to normal effectiveness if the pedal force is not increased to compensate for reduced initial effectiveness, a longer stopping distance will result. If the pedal force is first increased the maintained, despite the recovery of the brake, available tire traction may be exceeded resulting in skidding of the rear wheel and possible loss of vehicle control.
