Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

THE FRONT ROTORS GO OUT BETWEEN 3000 AND 4000 MILES FAITHFULY. THEY ACT LIKE WARPED ROTORS BUT THERE NOT WARPED. SERVICE SHOP CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE FACTORY REP WONT SAY WHAT IS WRONG. THEY JUST KEEP REPLACEING THEM. I'M ON MY FORTH SET NOT. SINCE THIS IS WINTER IN OREGON THEY WONT GO OUT TILL MARCH OR APRIL. SINCE I AM RIDING THIS BIKE EVERY TIME THE ROTORS START GOING OUT IT MAKES IT KIND OF HARD TO BRAKE FOR CORNERS. I GET A BAD VIBRATION OUT OF THE FRONT END. AFTER THREE SETS OF ROTORS IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS TO ME THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG. BUT THE RUMOR IS THAT HONDA HAS LOST OF ROTORS IN STOCK AND THERE JUST GOING TO KEEP REPLACEING THEM. THIS IS NOT A FIX SO FAR JUST A PATCH. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET THESE BRAKES FIXED RIGHT ??

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.
