I AM CONCERNED WITH THE OPERATION OF THE TURN SIGNALS ON THIS MOTORCYCLE. WHEN YOU TURN ON THE SIGNAL , SOMETIMES IT FLASHES 2 TIMES AND THEN SHUTS OFF , SOMETIMES IT IS 4 TIMES , AND SOMETIMES IT FLASHES ABOUT 20 TIMES AND THEN SHUTS OFF. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW LONG THEY WILL FLASH . A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS ALMOST I AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE SIGNAL TURNED OFF LONG BEFORE I GOT TO MY TURN. I THINK THESE TURN SIGNALS ARE DANGEROUS , BUT MY VICTORY DEALER SAYS THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY COMPUTER LOGIC? *TR

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.
