THE BIKE HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OFTHE BIKE. THE MFG HAS DENIED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CRACK HAS MY SAFETY IN CONCERN...

Across model years
Worst on record: 2000Reading 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.
