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 BIKE OVERHEATS (AS INDICATED BY THE GAUGE) WHILE DRIVEN SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC. YOU MUST TRY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC QUICKLY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE COOLANT WOULD COME OUT AND GO UNDER THE REAR TIRE. IF THAT HAPPENED, THE BIKE COULD SLIDE OUT FROM UNDER ME AND CAUSE A CRASH. THE DATE AND MILEAGE LISTED REPRESENTS THE FIRST TIME THE BIKE SHOWED THE OVERHEATED CONDITION. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED THREE TIME UNDER THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS: IN TRAFFIC; MOVING LESS THAN 15 MPH; APPROX 85 DEGREE OUTSIDE AIT TEMP. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THANKS.

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.
