TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 YAMAHA SILVERADO MOTORCYCLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A NUT ON THE BACK OF THE DRIVE SHAFT WILL COME OFF AND CAUSE THE REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP AT HIGH OR LOW SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT THEY COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THE REPAIRS WOULD COST 1100.00, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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.
