Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

THIS VEHICLE HAD A FAILED STATOR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE STATOR IS THE CHARGING SYSTEM. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AS APRILIA HAS ISSUED AN UPDATED PART #. JUST ONE DEALER IN THE US HAS SOLD 185 OF THE REPLACEMENT NEW PART # STATORS. THIS EFFECTS ALL 2011-2015 TUONO V4 IN THE US WHICH THERE IS APPROX. 1000 UNITS IN THE FIELD.

THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE STATOR (CHARGING) ASSEMBLY FOR THE APRILIA TUONO V4. IN MY EXPERIENCE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY CHARGING SYSTEM, AT MY COST, BECAUSE THE STATOR BURNED ITSELF UP, PREVENTING THE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY. IN READING A FORUM FOR THIS BIKE, IT IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND HAS CAUSED MANY TO BE STRANDED. MY STATOR BURNED ITSELF UP WITH MY ODOMETER SHOWING 8,113 MILES. APRILIA HAS PRODUCED A NEW, UPDATED STATOR AND ROTOR ASSEMBLY, BUT REFUSES TO RECALL THE MOTORCYCLE TO CHANGE THIS $350 ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY MOTORCYCLE AND THE VOLTAGE WAS LESS THAN REQUIRED FROM THE BATTERY. MANY OWNERS BELIEVE THE BATTERY IS THE INITIAL CULPRIT AND REPLACE IT ERRANTLY.

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.
