WHEN RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE THE FRONT WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE CAUSING ME TO HAVE A WRECK. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND COULD USE THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN A LEFT TURN AND WRECKED. I'VE LOST MY RIGHT LEG. *TR

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.
