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 Aug 22, 2007
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 Apr 14, 2008

A WEEK AGO (4/5/08) WHILE RIDING MY RURAL MOTORCYCLE ( 2007 TOURIST), I HEARD A LOUD CLICK, CLICK, KLUNK!!! AND THEN THE REAR WHEEL MOMENTARILY FROZE WITH SOME GRINDING AND SCRAPING NOISES. CLICK CLICK KLUNK NOISE SEEMED TO HAVE EMITTED FROM THE CENTER OF THE MOTOR CYCLE AROUND THE MAIN TRANSMISSION AREA. I STOPPED THE MOTORCYCLE AND COULD DETERMINE NO DAMAGE UPON A SIMPLE VISUAL INSPECTION. I TESTED RIDING AND THE BIKE RESUMED WITH OUT PROBLEM. THEN LAST NIGHT , (04/13/08)THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED, CLICK, CLICK, KLUNK AND REAR WHEEL FREEZE MOMENTARILY. AGAIN I STOPPED NO VISUAL DAMAGE NOTED AND THE MOTORCYCLE RESUMED WITHOUT PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED HOME, AND AT ONE POINT THE REAR WHEEL MOMENTARILY LOCKED WHEN PROCEEDING TO GO IN FIRST GEAR AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. DOES THIS APPEAR TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION RECALL , CAMPAIGN RECALL NUMBER 07V372000? I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE IN NOVEMBER 2007 AND CURRENT HAVE APPROXIMATELY 8300 KILOMETERS OF MILEAGE ON THE MOTORCYCLE. *TR

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.
