Not enough dated records to plot a meaningful trend — 2 months of data.
Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
The motorcycle is not easy to steer when making turns,, difficult to steer when less than 8 mph and impossible to steer when idle. The brake pedal goes almost all the way in when braking after new brake pads installed and nothing else identifiable has been found.
THE TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE SWITCH DOES WORK ON A 45 TO 90 DEGREE TURN HOWEVER IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE MOTORWAY AND WANT TO SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES I CAN NOT GET THE SWITCH TO CANCEL OUT. IT DOES NOT CANCEL. MOTORISTS AROUND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR INTENDING TO DO SINCE IT IS SIGNALING LEFT OR RIGHT AS YOU TRY TO GET IT TO CANCEL. DURING THIS PERIOD YOU ARE NOT GIVING 100 PERCENT ATTENTION TO THE TRAFFIC AROUND YOU. THIS CONFUSION OF MOTORISTS AROUND YOU PRESENTS A FURTHER HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THIS SWITCH IS FAULTY. CAN AM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEM. HOPEFULLY REPLACING WITH A BETTER DESIGN. I BOUGHT THE CAN AM USED FROM A PERSON AND THIS IS MY FINDINGS AS THE SECOND OWNER

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
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.
