THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER SEAL FAILED MAKING THE CLUTCH INOPERABLE. I WAS MOVING ON A DIRT ROAD AT THE TIME MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SEAL HAD A RIP CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE MOTORCYCLE HAD 813 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE AND IT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION. IN READING ON THE INTERNET FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS, WHICH THERE WERE MANY, THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, HAD I BEEN IN TRAFFIC I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE ENGINE FROM THE WHEEL. IT MAY HAVE CAUSED ME TO REAR END SOMEONE.

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.
