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.

From owner reports, verbatim

WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP THROUGH NORTHERN ARIZONA AND UTAH IN EARLY OCTOBER 2015, THE LICENSE PLATE MOUNTING BRACKET BROKE OFF THE BIKE AND WAS LOST. ATTACHED TO THE BROKEN MOUNT WAS MY LICENSE PLATE, THE ASSOCIATED FASTENERS, REFLECTOR AND POSSIBLY MORE UNKNOWN ITEMS. THE MOUNTING BRACKET FRACTURED THROUGH BOTH MOUNTING BOLT HOLES. I HAD ACHIEVED SPEEDS UP TO 75 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE MOTORCYCLE WHEN THE MOUNTING BRACKET DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS LICENSE MOUNTING BRACKET ON MY 2015 HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING MOTORCYCLE IS DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE OR BOTH. I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES OR INJURE PEDESTRIANS. INCLUDED IS A IMAGE OF WHAT REMAINS OF THE LICENSE MOUNTING BRACKET.

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.
