Filed Feb 26, 20174,000 milesOH

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT ALWAYS SHOWS AS BEING FULL NO MATTER THE DISTANCE TRAVELED ON THE BIKE. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF SOMEONE THINKS THEY HAVE MORE FUEL THAN THEY DO AND RUN OUT.

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.
