WHILE DRIVING MY HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE, THE REAR WHEEL BEGAN MAKING NOISE, SHAKING, AND VIBRATING. IT BECAME RAPIDLY WORSE OVER THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. I PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY AND SAW THAT 2 OF THE SPOKES WERE BROKEN. I RECEIVED A RIDE TO TOWN, GOT THE BIKE TO A SHOP, AND THE SHOP OWNER CALL THE MAKER OF THE WHEEL, AMERICAN WIRE WHEEL OF DENTON, TEXAS WHICH WAS SOLD TO DAYTON WIRE WHEEL. WE DISCOVERED THAT NHTSA HAD OTHER INVESTIGATIONS ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE WHEEL, BUT THIS IS NOW ONE MORE INCIDENT INVOLVING THE SUPERSPOKE WHEEL. PLEASE CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU . *NLM

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.
