THE BRAKE ROTOR ON MY 1990 HONDA VT1100 HAS A CRACK 75% OF THE WAY ACROSS IT, MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE. I AM REPORTING THIS TO SEE IF THIS IS A TREND WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES BECAUSE THE IS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE BRAKE ROTOR FAILURE, NO WRECK, NO LAYDOWN, JUST NORMAL OPERATIONS. *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.
