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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed Sep 19, 2012

ON 6/13/2012 I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 BURGMAN AN650 AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON A PAVED HIGHWAY WHEN THE SCOOTER SUDDENLY LOST MOMENTUM YET THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. UPON CLOSURE EXAMINATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SCOOTER WOULD REQUIRE SERVICING. HAD TRAFFIC CONDITIONS BEEN HEAVIER, THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE PROVEN TO BE FATAL. ON 6/20/2012 I WROTE SUZUKI CORP TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM IN DETAIL. IN A RESPONSE DATED 7/25/2012, SUZUKI MADE IT CLEAR THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. A MECHANICAL INSPECTION PERFORMED BY THE BY THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE SCOOTER FROM HAS ADVISED THAT THE ACTUATOR GEARS HAD FAILED AND WILL COST ABOUT $1,800 TO REPAIR. THE SCOOTER IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP PENDING DETERMINATION OF ITS FATE. THE BIKE HAS LESS THAN 17,500 MILES. IN MY OPINION THESE SCOOTERS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR *JS

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
