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.

Latest Jul 9, 2008
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.

Filed Aug 7, 2008

WHILE RIDING MY NEW MOTORCYCLE I COULD NOT STOP AT A STOP SIGN USING MY REAR BRAKE- I HAD A "SOFT" BRAKE. EVEN DEPRESSING THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL TO IT'S FULLEST THERE WAS NO BRAKING AT ALL. MY DEALER REPAIRED THE CONDITION BY CHANGING THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE FLUID AND ALSO FOLLOWING THE FACTORY BULLETIN ON BLEEDING THE REAR BRAKES CORRECTLY. AFTER THREE MORE RIDES AGAIN THE REAR BRAKE FAILED TO WORK - THIS TIME AT FREEWAY SPEEDS ! IN READING THE ON-LINE FORUMS AND TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE. *TR
