Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Bmw 0703 k1200ltc motorcycle rear end failed at less than 19,000 miles creating a hazard to my safety. However by hearing the gear noise in time I was able to stop the bike before the rear seal allowed oil out of the rear end. So it had to be a bearing failure in my opinion. At this time no repairs have been made yet.”
