Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

1 units potentially affected
The defect: ON ONE MOTORCYCLE, THE FACTORY-INSTALLED WELDED GUSSET PLATE CONNECTING THE FRAME BACKBONE, NECK, AND DOWN TUBE IS MISSING.
The risk: AS A RESULT, ADDITIONAL STRESS WOULD BE PLACED ON THE WELDS CAUSING RAPID WEAR AND POSSIBLE JOINT SEPARATION. FRAME SEPARATION OF THE NECK, DOWN TUBE, AND BACKBONE JOINTS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE BIKE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.
The remedy: THE OWNER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND HIS MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED.

WHILE RIDING MY 2005 PHANTOM CHOPPER ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DOWN TUBE CRACKED. NOT THE WELDS. THE FRAME. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE BIKE. AFTER CONTACTING MANUFACTURE I SENT HIM PICTURES. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME ITS NOT HIS PROBLEM. I HAD THE BIKE TOWED TO A REPUTABLE SHOP AND THEY SAID THE DOWN TUBE SHOULD BE THICKER WITH LARGER GUSSETING OR SUPPORT RODS BECAUSE OF THE RAKE OF THE CHASSIS. IF FRAME CRACKED ALL THE WAY THE FRONT FORKS WOULD HAVE RIPPED MY HEAD OFF. THE BIKE IS NOT LISTED IN YOUR SELECTION. IT'S A 2005 PHANTOM CHOPPER. MODEL DEVASTATOR 300. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT HE DESIGNED IT AND HE WAS WARNED THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BREAK. *TR
