I WAS RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE TO WORK IN THE CITY, WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE INSTRUMENTS TURNED OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE BIKE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RE-START. MY MECHANIC FOUND WATER IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND SPECIFIED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROLS PASS THROUGH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAD BEEN "BURNED OUT". I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR $690, IN ADDITION TO THE LABOR OF FINDING THE ISSUE AND REPLACING PART.

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.
