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.

ENGINE DOES NOT COMPLETELY ENGAGE WHEN CLUTCH LEVER IS COMPLETELY RELEASED. THE ENGINE PARTIALLY ENGAGES AFTER THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED, AND THEN FULLY ENGAGES A BIT LATER. THE END RESULT IS THAT AS THE OPERATOR IS GIVING THE VEHICLE MORE THROTTLE TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE FINALLY FULLY ENGAGES DUE TO THE FAULTY CLUTCH (FINALLY FULLY RELEASING) AND CAUSES THE FRONT WHEEL TO AT TIMES LEAVE THE PAVEMENT. THIS CAUSED THE OPERATOR TO NEARLY DUMP THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY STREET WHEN PROCEEDING FROM A RED LIGHT WHILE DRIVING IT HOME AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT BY THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON 12/03/2011, AND PICKED UP ON 12/07/2011. PROBLEM WORSENED AS THE BIKE WAS RIDDEN. AT 20 MILES, IT WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE FOR A TOTAL OF 17 DAYS IN THE SHOP IN THE 45 DAYS SINCE ITS PURCHASE. ON THE THIRD REPAIR, THE ENGINE ALSO WAS LEAKING OIL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50 MILES ON IT AS OF 01/14/2012. *TR

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

TB-M-2014-003

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

YAMAHA MC: WHEN LOOKING FOR TECHNICAL INFORMATION, A COMPREHENSIVE INDEX IS PROVIDED REGARDING TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS. *PE

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
