Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILER CAN COME OFF CAUSING A LCAK OF FUEL PRESSURE OT THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THIS CAN PREVENT THE MOTORCYCLE FROM STARTING OR CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL.

Risk. ENGINE STALLING WHILE RIDING COULD DISTURB THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE MOTORCYCLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT THE BIKE INTO THE DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY. THEY HAVE REPLACED A FEW GASKETS BUT THE BIKE STILL LEAKS OIL. SINCE THEN MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME TO LOOK AT IT NOW. THE LAST TIME I HAD THEM LOOK AT THE BIKE I WAS CHARGED $50.00. AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE NEXT DAY THE BIKE LEAKED OIL AGAIN. IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM

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.

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.
