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.

AQ12001ClosedAudit Query

Southern Honda Powersports

Opened May 14, 2012
Closed May 13, 2013

NHTSA opened Audit Query (AQ) 12-001 to determine whether Southern Honda Powersports (Southern Honda) of Chattanooga, Tennessee, had complied with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 (Safety Act) and its implementing regulations. The Safety Act requires, among other things, that a motor vehicle or equipment manufacturer notify its dealers of defects related to motor vehicle safety and non-compliances with federal motor vehicle safety standards.In turn, a dealer may not sell and deliver a new vehicle subject to a recall unless the recall remedy has been performed.(see 49 U.S.C. 30120(i); 49 C.F.R. 573.11)NHTSA issued an information request to Southern Honda on May 14, 2012 to which they responded on July 6, 2012.NHTSA?s inquiry led it to believe that Southern Honda had failed to complete the requirements of five recalls that required inspections and/or repairs of motorcycles prior to their sale or delivery.NHTSA believes that 329 motorcycles affected by recalls had not been inspected and/or repaired prior to their sale and delivery between 2007 and 2012.The agency is unaware of any deaths or injuries involving these vehicles.NHTSA concluded that it had a potential civil penalty claim against Southern Honda for violations of the Safety Act.Southern Honda denied any violations of the Safety Act.In order to settle this matter, Southern Honda agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $125,000, to be paid in five annual installments.This AQ is closed.

Filed Jul 24, 2020

I WAS NOTIFIED OF SAFETY RECALL UPON INITIAL TITLING OF MY BIKE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY BIKE TO MY NEAREST HONDA SERVICE CENTER IN TAMPA, "EXTREME POWERSPORTS" . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASKED ME TO RETURN IN A WEEK AND SAID IT WAS SAFE TO RIDE. I RETURNED ON AGREED DATE & TIME TO HAVE THE RECALL ADDRESSED. AFTER A FEW HOURS I RECEIVED A CALL TO PICK UP MY BIKE AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK MY BIKE DID NOT FAIL THE HONDA TEST, SO IT WAS SAFE. NOW A YEAR LATER I FIND THE EXACT LEAKING VENT LINE THAT IS A SAFETY RECALL HAS FAILED AS HONDA SAID IT WOULD. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT EXTREME POWERSPORTS DID NOT PROPERLY INSPECT THE ISSUE. IN FACT THE TECH WA CAUGHT IN A LIE ABOUT MY BIKE FALLING OFF THE LIFT THEY HAD MY BIKE ON. I HAVE DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT AND HAVE VERBAL STATEMENT FROM SERVICE MANAGER STATING MY BIKE WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE TECH FAILED TO SECURE THE MOTORCYCLE. EXTREME POWESPORTS ALSO FAILED TO UPDATE THE DATABASE ABOUT PERFORMING THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE LACK OF A REQUIRED TOOL TO PERFORM SAID REPAIR. THE PARTS DESK CLERK INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A TOOL ON SITE. I WILL BE HIRING A ATTORNEY AND SEEKING DAMAGES AND LEGAL FEES
