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.

YAMAHA HAS A DEFECTIVE 3RD GEAR ISSUE WITH THE XV1900 MOTORCYCLES IN THE YEARS 2006 AND 2007. MY THIRD GEAR STARTED GRINDING DURING NORMAL OPERATION, WHICH MAKES IT TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ANY LONGER, AS MAINTAINING SPEED IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT YAMAHA HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR YET. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 06 ROADLINER. THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS AND NOT DUE TO ABUSE OR NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.

THE MOTORCYCLE SPEEDOMETER , ODOMETER PANEL LEAKS MOISTURE AND AS A RESULT DOES NOT SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK OR HOW MANY MILES ON THE BIKE . ALSO SPEEDOMETER SOMETIMES FAILS AS WELL DUE TO FAULTY SEALANT AND OR PART OF THE MOTORCYCLE . I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT LOTS OF MODELS OF THIS YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO SPARE PARTS FOR 4 YEARS NOW.

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.
