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.

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2008 MODEL BRP CAM AM SPYDER MALFUNCTIONED. [TWO PAGES FROM NOW, MY MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURER IS NOT A MENU OPTION. I CAN NOT ADVANCE AND FILE THIS REPORT WITHOUT SPECIFYING A MANUFACTURER. I AM FORCED TO SUBMIT INCORRECT INFO. I WILL SPECIFY APRILIA MILLE EVEN THOUGH THAT IS NOR CORRECT.] THE POWER STEERING UNIT ON MY THREE WHEELED MOTORCYCLE CAUSED THE MACHINE TO DRIFT LEFT. THEN IT RESISTED CORRECTION BACK TO THE RIGHT. IT OVER CORRECTED WHEN IT FINALLY ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO DISABLE THE POWER STEERING BY REMOVING THE POWER STEERING FUSE. THE VEHICLE NO LONGER DRIFTED LEFT. THE VEHICLE STILL RESISTED MOVEMENT TO THE RIGHT, BUT NO LONGER OVER CORRECTED. *TR

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
