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 Jul 26, 2006
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.

Filed Aug 19, 2007

MOTORSCOOTER SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT READ CORRECT SPEED. IT READS BETWEEN 8 AND 10 MILES PER HOUR ABOVE ACTUAL SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, SPEEDOMERTER READS 50MPH BUT IN REALITY I'M DRIVING AT 40MPH. PROBLEM PERSISTS REGARDLESS OF SPEED. CONSEQUENCES: 1) DRIVING UNDER THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT IN A FEDERAL HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVER THINKS HE/SHE IS ACTUALLY AT LEAST AT MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT. IT CAN CAUSE CRASH BY LARGER VEHICLES COMING FROM BEHIND AT LARGER SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, RIDER ACTUALLY RIDING AT 35 MPH ON A FEDERAL HIGHWAY MINIMUM SPEED OF 45 MPH EVENTHOUGH RIDER THINKS HE/SHE IS AT LEGAL SPEED. WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM: 1) TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER IN PROBO, UTAH AND REPORTED PROBLEM. SERVICE DESK SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS HE INDICATED ALL KYMCO PEOPLE 150CC SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM. I ASKED IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED OR IF I COULD BUY A NEW SYSTEM TO REPLACE. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS AND IF I BOUGHT A NEW SPEEDOMETER THE PROBLEM WOULD PERSIST. I NOW HAVE TO GUESS AT WHICH SPEED I'M RIDING AT. AT THIS TIME (08/19/07) WHEN I'M RIDING IN A 25 MPH STREET, I RIDE MY SCOOTER READING AT 35 MPH. IT IS NOT SAFE, SPECIALLY TO THOSE OWNERS THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO SAFETY ISSUES, MY MOTORSCOOTER NOW READS RIDDEN KILOMETERS IN EXCESS TO ACTUAL USAGE. DEPRECIATION OF VEHICLE IS GREATER THEN ACTUAL DUE TO MISLEADING SPEEDOMETER. *TR
