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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed May 21, 2014

PLASTIC FUEL TANK EXPANDED AND WARPED SO MUCH THAT IT NO LONGER FIT PROPERLY ON THE MOTORCYCLE. BOLTS THAT FASTENED THE TANK TO THE FRONT OF THE FRAME COULD NO LONGER BE ALIGNED. FUEL CAP BEGAN LEAKING BECAUSE THE HOLE HAD ELONGATED ALLOWING GAS TO ESCAPE PAST THE SEAL. STRONG GASOLINE VAPORS WOULD FILL THE GARAGE WHERE STORED INDICATING A FIRE HAZARD. TANK WAS REPLACED BY APRILIA IN AUG 2012. NEW REPLACEMENT TANK IS NOW WARPING IN THE SAME MANNER. *TR

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
