Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

THE REAR HALF OF THE VICTORY VISION FENDER IS PLASTIC. THE MOUNTING POINTS ON MY FENDER CRACKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE FENDER BLOWS UP INTO THE FAIRING PREVENTING THE RIDER FROM STEERING OR CONTROLLING THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF VISION RIDERS ALREADY AND VICTORY IS AWARE THIS HAZARD EXISTS. LUCKILY NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED. THANKFULLY THE CRACKS IN MY FENDER WERE DISCOVERED DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. MY DEALER, JPM PERFORMANCE POWERSPORTS HAS THE DEFECTIVE FENDER AND HAS A NEW FENDER ON ORDER. HAD I BEEN ON THE ROAD AND THE FENDER CAME APART IT COULD HAVE PLACED MY LIFE, THE LIFE OF MY PASSENGER OR ANY INNOCENT BYSTANDERS IN GRAVE DANGER AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE MAKE VICTORY FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN THE FENDER BROKE BUT I FOUND IT GIVING THE BIKE A FULL ONCE OVER JUST BEFORE A 2500 MILE ROAD TRIP. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE BACK HALF OF THE FENDER SECURE TO THE FORKS. THEY CRACK OUT THE CHEAP COMPOSITE PLASTIC THAT THE FENDER IS CONSTRUCTED OF. THE MATERIAL IS TOTALLY INFERIOR AND BRITTLE AND SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH BREAKING AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE STEERING TO LOCKUP AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE... A DEATH. *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.
