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 HAVE A 2000 VICTORY V92SC. ON MANY OCCASIONS MY TRANSMISSION HAS DOWN SHIFTED ON ITS OWN FROM 3RD TO 2ND, 4TH TO 3RD, AND GRINDING HARD EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. I HAVE TALKED TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BOTH HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THESE BIKES('99-2000 VICTORY'S), AND BOTH HAVE DONE NUMEROUS TRANNY REPLACEMENTS EACH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE TRANNY SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR IN TRAFFIC, AND THE SHIFTER STICKING WHILE TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE GEARS.*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.
