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.

Brakes
Filed Oct 20, 2021

I bought the bike new in June 2021. Since new, The front brake, on first pull, has limited effect, it needs to be pumped using several pulls to have the expected power. I had the dealer look at it, they agreed and bled the brakes which fixed the problem for a couple of days, then it reverted to the same poor operation. I was accepting of it until the other day; a car pulled in front of me, I had to emergency stop and nearly got the car - the little bit of time to pump the brakes up is potentially impactful. These are brembo brakes, they should work better than nearly anything around. Brief background; this is my 17th bike, been riding for 40+ years and have never encountered this issue on past machines.
