2024 Honda Gold Wing GL1800DR Tour fails to detect the keyfob intermittently. The vehicle does not require a standard key to start, unlock or closing/opening the paniers, except for emergency situation and requires at that time a sequence to be followed. For this, it requires that you have the fob in your person while operating the motorcycle. The concerns around the fob/remote is that it looses communication with the vehicle intermittently, inhibiting access, say, to ignition start button or properly closing paniers/top case.

I am writing to submit a complaint regarding a potential safety defect in the 2018-2024 Honda Goldwing motorcycles equipped with Android Auto. Shortly after purchasing a new 2024 Goldwing motorcycle, I experienced a concerning incident while riding in Northern Virginia traffic.
