THE GASOLINE TANK CAP IS DEFECTIVE. THE CAP IS METAL AND THE GAS TANK IS PLASTIC. AFTER SOME USE THE PLASTIC LIP OF THE TANK GETS WORN OUT AND THE CAP DOES NOT LOCK. THEN GAS SPILLS OUT AND THERE IS A DANGER OF FIRE AS WELL POLLUTION. VERY UNSAFE. SYM SHOULD REPLACE TANK OR REPLACE SCOOTER WITH ANOTHER, SAFE VERSION.

4 of 4 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
