RIGHT FOOT PEG BROKE OFF WHEN I PUT MY WEIGHT ON IT TO MOUNT THE MOTORCYCLE. MOTORCYCLE WAS STATIONARY IN THIS INSTANCE, BUT COULD HAPPEN AT SPEED IF A RIDER WERE TO STAND ON THE PEGS WHILE RIDING. THE BOLT ATTACHING THE FOOT PEG CLEVIS TO THE FRAME FRACTURED. PICTURES OF THE FACE OF THE BOLT ATTACHED. I AM UNAWARE OF A PRIOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE COMPROMISED THAT BOLT, ALTHOUGH THE BIKE HAS BEEN DROPPED SLOWLY ON THAT SIDE WHILE THAT BIKE WAS NOT IN MOTION. I AM THE MOTORCYCLE'S ORIGINAL OWNER. THE BOLT MAY BE TOO WEAK FOR THE APPLICATION. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS BOLT BREAKING, SOMETIMES WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE IS IN MOTION.

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.
