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.

There are only 5,768 miles on this bike I bought brand new. The AMOLED odometer failed prematurely. The Clutch cable had to be replaced with a new part number. The timing sprocket bearing, engine bearings, and seals failed under warranty causing it to spray oil. In the UK there are massive complaints. In the US there are forums about it. It is a terrible bike. No mechanic knows how to diagnose it. The computer and built in diagnosis says nothing is wrong with it. The Engine is a Kawasaki Versus 650. The bike is a terrible rip off. No one knows what is wrong with it. It is at a certified CFMoto repair shop listed on their website. Everyone of them is defective. It had forwarded bugs with changing km to mph blowing up the screen causing failures. It should be recalled and refunded. It has never fallen. It has been driven lightly, and it is under warranty. But for some unknown reason, it is not even repairable. It has been at New Orleans Powersports for almost 3 months with mechanics that have worked on bikes 25 years. It should have been better quality. Bikes are supposed to last 300,000 miles. There are numerous online complaints about the 650mt, 650nk, and my 650us having leaks. There should have been a recall. 25,000 miles is the high mileage point. The oil and bike has always been cared for by a licensed service department. The screen went out and was replaced. The bike was not leaking oil until I picked it up from New Orleans Powersports about 2 months ago. Their mechanics had 25 years experience. The Shop had it taken to a more professional area at one of their other shops. They are not able to diagnose why it is spraying oil out of the top of the engine. It is not down the middle seal. It blew the bearings and seals in less than 6,000 miles in a year and a half of light touring. All in all, the bike was 11,000 USD. I got ripped off by cfmoto. The bike was not leaking any oil until it got to the shop. They said it was ready. I left it there at pickup for leaks.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

SVC-2025-12

SERVICE BRAKES

Due to feedback that the brake bleeding procedure in motorcycle service manuals is not always successful, CFMOTO-USA developed a procedure to supplement the service manual information.

WAR-2022-11

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

CFMOTO-USA is alerting motorcycle dealers that certain early-production 2022 CFMOTO 300NK, 300SS, 650NK, and 650 ADVentura motorcycle TFT gauges will display an incorrect ‘Warning - Insufficient Oil’ message that is meant to alert the operator to a low fuel condition.

SVC-2022-04

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

CFMOTO-USA has received field reports of the maintenance interval remind feature on 650 ADVentura, 650NK, 300NK, and 300SS motorcycles displaying without instructions on how the interval can be reset.

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.
