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.

Latest Mar 11, 2008
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.

I HAVE A 2006 KAWASAKI 900 VULCAN THAT I BOUGHT LAST YEAR. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I AM RIDING THE THROTTLE WILL STICK WHEN I LET GO OF IT. IT DOESN'T STICK IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION, ONLY PART THROTTLE BUT IT DOES SCARE ME. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON A KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLE FORUM BUT KAWASAKI DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT AND FIX IT. *JB
