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.

DEAR NHTSA, NORTH CAROLINA RECENTLY CHANGED IT'S MOTORCYCLE HELMET LAW WHICH REQUIRES HELMETS TO MEET SOME FMV-XXX? REQUIREMENT( WHATEVER THAT IS). I BOUGHT ONE FROM HCI AND IT HAS CAUSED ME NECK PROBLEMS DUE TO ITS SIZE AND WEIGHT. I CANNOT RIDE MORE THAN 50 MILES ANYMORE WITHOUT A BREAK DUE TO THE WIND RESISTANCE. IF STATES ARE GOING TO REQUIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND CONSIDER THE EVERY DAY EFFECTS OF SUCH REQUIREMENTS RATHER THAN JUST A POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC EVENT. THANK YOU. *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.
