THIS MOTORCYCLE IS EQUIPPED WITH TWO NON-METALLIC FUEL TANKS. IN 2012 I NOTICED SOME DEFORMATION OCCURRING WITH BOTH TANKS. IT HAS CONTINUED AND IS BECOMING WORSE. THE TANKS ARE NOW SEVERELY DEFORMED TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT CRACKS ARE FORMING. ONLY HIGH QUALITY PUMP FUEL WITH NO ADDITIVES HAS BEEN USED IN THESE TANKS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO HEAT IN EXCESS OF NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. IF DEFORMATION CONTINUES THESE FUEL TANKS WILL FAIL AND LEAK RESULTING IN A FUEL FIRE. THIS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

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.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
