Service bulletin DLR MSG - MC - S
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
"HONDA IS LAUNCHING A SAFETY RECALL ON MODEL YEAR 2001 THROUGH 2015 GL1800/A AND GL1800B/BD MOTORCYCLES TO REPLACE A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE SECONDARY MASTER CYLINDER. UNDER CONDITIONS WHERE THE BRAKE FLUID IS NOT REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, DEPOSITS MAY FORM WITHIN THE BRAKE FLUID, LEADING TO COMPONENT MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SECONDARY MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE REAR BRAKE TO DRAG. A DRAGGING REAR BRAKE INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH AND MAY GENERATE ENOUGH HEAT TO CAUSE THE REAR BRAKE TO CATCH FIRE."

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
