THE SCOOTER WAS BEING DRIVEN STRAIGHT AHEAD ON A LEVEL, SMOOTH CITY STREET. THE DRIVER APPROXIMATED HIS SPEED AT 5 - 10 MPH. THE STEERING COLUMN SNAPPED CLEANLY WITHOUT WARNING, THUS COMPLETELY RELEASING THE ENTIRE FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY FROM THE SCOOTER. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION OF WEAKNESS OR DEFECT, AND NO RUST OR OTHER INDICATION OF WEAR IS VISIBLE AT THE BREAK. DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY, THE POLICE HAVE NOT POSTED THEIR REPORT TO BUYCRASH.COM AS YET. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. THE DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT BY AMBULANCE. THE SCOOTER PARTS WERE REMOVED TO OUR TRUCK AND TRANSPORTED BACK TO HEADQUARTERS.

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
