SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT TRANSMISSIONS LOCKUPS. FROM THE DATA THAT I HAVE FOUND, APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A CIRCLIP BREAKING CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO LOCK UP. WHEN THIS OCCURS, LOSS OF CONTROL IS ALMOST CERTAIN. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITHIN A CERTAIN PRODUCTION DATE AND SERIAL NUMBER. MY MOTORCYCLE FALLS INTO THIS RANGE. NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.*AK

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.
