I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, GOING ABOUT 35 PROBABLY AND HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE FRONT TELESCOPIC FORK (ON MY LEFT SIDE) SNAPPED IN HALF AND I LAID THE BIKE DOWN (ON THE RIGHT SIDE). DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER CARS, JUST HIT MY BRAKES AND IT SNAPPED. LUCKILY I WAS OK. THE ROAD WAS A GOOD ROAD, NO POT HOLES OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS.

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.
