THE BRACKET CONNECTING THE STEERING DAMPER TO THE FRONT FORK AS FAILED TWICE IN 18 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WAS DURING A LOW-SPEED (20MPH) LEFT TURN. THE STRUT BOUNCED OFF THE ROAD SURFACE AND ROAD GUARDS OF THE BIKE. THE SECOND WAS HIGH-SPEED (60MPD) ON AN INTERSTATE. I LOOK DOWN AND NOTICED THE STRUT WAS NOT CONNECTED.

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.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
