I was making a right turn in 1st gear and applying small throttle for traction but the engine cut off during the turn. This is dangerous for a motorcycle as friction and throttle is needed for a safe turn even during slow speeds. I have raised the concern to a local dealer prior to this incident. I called the local dealer and they stated that the open recall had already been completed so there is nothing else to do. There are a few youtube videos and many comments about this being a common issue.
NHTSA has issued a do-not-drive warning for a recall on this vehicle.
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.
