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.

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.

This recall happened in March. Honda did not notify me until May. As of today, 7/14, they are saying it will be August before they can fix the scooter. In the meantime, I can't ride it for safety reasons, so it is useless to me. Paying insurance and storing it but not able to use it. Even had a buyer and the sale did not go through due to the recall. Honda is not fixing it in a reasonable time frame (60 days), and yet I know that they replaced the part on scooters sitting on dealers' showroom floors. Their response it totally unacceptable since I cannot use the vehicle. Manufacturer Recall NumberKR9 NHTSA Recall Number25V195 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete
