Rear brake indicator component is poorly designed and breaks off. I was riding when a friend informed me that he hardly ever saw me use my brakes. Upon inspection a component had failed. Bike was take to dealership for repair, bike was under warranty. Deal insist issue is due to misuse. "Repaired" at customer expense. Upon receipt of vehicle attempt to asses that the repair holds. Upon depressing the rear pedal, the component pops off. Dealer insists their is nothing to repair. Rear brake indicator does not function, unable to register bike. No repair available.

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.
