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.

FUEL TANK DISTORTION FROM EXPANSION.

NHTSA ID 11317052 · filed Mar 9, 2020

I BOUGHT A 06 MONSTER 620 DARK BACK IN FEB 06. THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM IS CLOSED. HAD THE BIKE SERVICED ONLY BY THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHEN IT WAS SERVICED. THE BIKE HAS 3600 MILES ON SO I GO TO WORK ON IT TO JUST CLEAN IT UP AND CHANGE THE OIL AND I CAN'T GET THE TANK TO LATCH. SO I GO ON LINE TO LOOK FOR A FIX AND START FINDING THE ISSUES ABOUT THE TANK EXPANSION. *TR

MOTORCYCLE GAS TANK (PLASTIC) IS DEFORMING AND: A) NO LONGER SITS TIGHT TO THE FRAME AS DESIGNED, B) IS EXERTING PRESSURE ON IGNITION, MAKING THE TANK DIFFICULT TO LATCH AND UNLATCH FOR MAINTENANCE. *TR

NHTSA ID 10343363 · filed Jul 14, 2010

PLASTIC TANK ON DUCATI S2R 1000 HAS DEFORMED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE TANK NO LONGER FITS ON THE FRAME. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SWELLING POINTS THROUGH OUT THE TANK. THE TANK LATCH NO LONGER OPERATES AS INTENDED AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LIFT THE TANK WITHOUT REMOVING THE LATCH ITSELF. THE TANK IS ALSO APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE SEAT CAUSING PAINT TO CHIP OFF. PLEASE NOTE, THE MODEL IS NOT A 620CC MOTORCYCLE, IT IS A 992CC MOTORCYCLE. SPECIFICALLY THE S2R1000. HOWEVER THERE ARE VERY FEW DIFFERENCES IN THE MODEL, EXCEPT THE BRAKE SIZE, AND THE ENGINE SIZE. *TR

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.
