THIS TRUCK HAS THE SAME BRAKE SYSTEM AS THE WILDFIRE WF650-C THAT IS BEING REPURCHASED DUE TO A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. I KNOW BECAUSE I OWN 3 OF THE RECALL WF650-C AND 1 WF650-T THE BRAKES ARE THE SAME I WAS A WILDFIRE DEALER. SAFETY RECALL 12V-031 PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THEY DO NOT STOP
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 WILDFIRE WF650-T. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSTABLE WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO RESPOND WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V031000 (SERVICE BRAKES, AIR). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
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.
