Front belt sprocket internal gears were ground away. It didn't allow the engine sprocket to turn the pulley that drives the belt powering the rear tire. Resulted in a loss of propulsion while traveling at 55 MPH making riding to a safe location difficult, had to coast off the roadway. The attached photo is after the sprocket was removed from the bike. The pieces broken along the outside are from a gear puller during removal. The sprocket would only free spin making removal extremely difficult.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
