NYLON-6 USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE FUEL TANK OF THE MOTORCYCLE CAUSES THE FUEL TANK TO SWELL AND DEFORM OVER TIME. THIS SWELLING HAS CAUSED THE FUEL TANK TO NO LONGER MOUNT CORRECTLY AND SECURELY TO THE FRAME OF THE MOTORCYCLE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE TANK COULD MORE EASILY BE SEPARATED FROM THE MOTORCYCLE FRAME, LEADING TO A FIRE AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURIES OR DEATH OF THE RIDER, AS WELL AS POSING AN INCREASED RISK TO FIRST RESPONDERS AND BYSTANDERS.

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.
