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.

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED MY 2014 HUSQVARNA STRADA 650 FROM THE DEALER BRAN NEW WITH 0 MILES. I WAS ABLE TO PERFORM THE 1ST SERVICE AT THE DEALER, NO PROBLEM. TO KEEP THE WARRANTY, I NEEDED TO HAVE A 65-7500MILE SERVICE WHICH I TOOK TO THREE DEALERS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PERFORM THE SERVICE REQUIRED AND THERE IS ZERO SUPPORT FROM HUSQVARNA TO THE DEALER OR MYSELF ABOUT WHAT TO DO. I HAVE NO WAY OF CONTACTING HUSQVARNA ABOUT THIS. THE ONLY ADDRESS IS IN SWEDEN. I HAVE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS AS THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK ON THIS BIKE. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED AS WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS THREE YEAR OLD BIKE WITH 8000 MILES THAT NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO WORK ON. I PURCHASED IT WITH A WARRANTY AND NOW THERE IS NO SUPPORT. THE LETTER I RECEIVED STATES THAT IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER TO CONTACT NHTSA AND LEAVE A MESSAGE. THIS IS WHAT I AM ATTEMPTING TO DO. *TR
