I just got home from the scariest ride on my bike ever! I pulled off the freeway (thank god!)and was driving along a busy street when my bike started bucking like a bronco. I was almost thrown off. I was trying to downshift & up shift and whatever I could to gain control. The front brake was locked up. I am so lucky that someone didn’t slam into the back of me and I was also lucky I wasn’t on the freeway. This bike has a close recall on it but I don’t believe it was actually fixed or if it was fixed, if this is going to keep happening. I was lucky to make it home alive! There should definitely be an additional recall because this bike is a death trap!

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.
