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.

I OWN A SUZUKI C90 MY ISSUE IS WITH THE STATOR. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE NOW. THE 1ST TIME WAS 2 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD 25,000 KM ON IT. THE 2ND TIME WAS LAST WEEK WHEN IT WOULD NOT START. I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE SIGNAL GENERATOR THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE STATOR, BUT THE STATOR WAS BURNT AND WAS ON IT WAY OUT. THE BIKE JUST DIED WHILE RIDING IT, NO INDICATION OF WHAT WAS WRONG. THE 1ST PART I REPLACED WAS PART # 32101-10F10 THAT WAS REPLACED IN 2009 WHEN I HAD 25,000 KM ON IT. I ALSO HAD TO BUY A NEW GASKET AND THE TOTAL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT $450.00 THE 2ND REPAIR I HAD TO USE ANOTHER GASKET AND THE SAME PART # 32101-10F10 FOR ANOTHER $450. OUT OF MY POCKET. I WISH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT. *TR

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.
