[XXX] IS THE VIN FOR MY 2007 KAWASAKI VULCAN 1600 CC MOTORCYCLE. THE MOTORCYCLE COMES WITH A WEAK HORN ENDANGERING THE RIDER IN TRAFFIC AS CARS WITH THEIR WINDOWS CLOSED AND THE AIR CONDITIONING OR RADIOS RUNNING CANNOT HEAR IT AND TEND TO VEER INTO THE PATH OF THE BIKE. THE TANK IS FACTORY DEFECTIVE. IT IS A 5.3 GALLON TANK BUT ONLY AROUND 4 GALLONS ARE EVER USED BECAUSE THE REMAINING 1.3 GALLONS REMAIN IN THE BOTTOM WITHOUT BEING SUCTIONED UP TO BE USED. ONCE THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON THAT THE GAS IS ABOUT TO REACH THE END THE TANK WILL ONLY TAKE 4 GALLONS OF GAS TO FILL IT UP AGAIN, PROOF THAT THE TANK IS NOT GIVING THE RIDER THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE 5.3 GALLONS. I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WITH A QUALIFIED MECHANIC WHO TOOK THE TANK APART TO EXAMINE IT. *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.
