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.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY SUZUKI MOTORCYCLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND GEAR DOES NOT WORK AND IT SEEMS TO NOT BE THERE, AND THE CLUTCH MAKES LOUD CHATTERING SOUNDS MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE MATTER, AND I BELIEVE SUZUKI KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL.

MOTORCYCLE KEPT SLIPPING OUT OF SECOND GEAR, IT DID IT FIRST AT 55 MPH BUT THEN DID IT ALL THE TIME AFTER THAT. SUZUKI KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PERSISTS IT WILL END UP COSTING ME MY ENTIRE PRICE OF MY BIKE SINCE MY WARRANTY ENDS IN A FEW MONTHS. SUZUKI TRIES TO BLAME THE PROBLEM ON RIDER ERROR AND NOT FAULTY PARTS. WE PAY FOR THE BEST IN BIKE PERFORMANCE AND WE GET CHEAP PARTS THAT BREAK IN 5500 MILES.*AK

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
