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 Nov 14, 2024

I was riding on the highway when I experienced a complete loss of power. A red screen appeared on my instrument panel to state there was a serious problem with my traction motor. The vehicle was recovered to the dealer. The fault was cleared. I collected the motorcycle and suffered a repeat failure on the journey home - this time on the interstate. A complete loss of power. The vehicle was again recovered and after a software update, returned. I suffered another red screen issue at my home, on my drive. The motorcycle has been recovered and is back at the dealership.
