Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

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.

BMW ISSUED A STOP SALE RECALL FOR MY S1000XR AS WELL AS THE S1000RR SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE BRAKE CALIPERS. WHEN NEW, BOTH OF THESE BIKES CAME WITH THE SAME BRAKE CALIPERS. BMW IS REPLACING THE S1000XR BRAKES WITH A MUCH LOWER QUALITY BRAKE THAN THEY ARE REPLACING ON THE S10000RR. AS THEY BOTH CAME WITH THE SAME HIGH QUALITY BRAKES WHEN SOLD NEW, THEY SHOULD BOTH GET EQUAL BRAKES AS REPLACEMENTS. BOTH OF THESE MOTORCYCLES ARE SOLD AS BEING READY TO USE ON RACE TRACKS, BUT THE REPLACEMENT BRAKES FOR THE S1000XR ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THAT USE.

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.
