Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle stalls when decelerating to low speed or to a stop. It has happened multiple times and most often when the vehicle is hot after lengthy driving in weather in excess of 90 degrees f. This is a widely recognized problem for this model and year and there has been a recall issued. My vehicle has no open recalls, so I assume it has been recalled for this problem (I am second owner). Bike has 24000 miles and the problem persists despite presumed recall remedy. This happened to me on interstate, middle lane when traffic slowed...very dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11231974, filed 2019-07, 24,000 miles“Engine has stalled numerous times since new. Third time in for this problem in a year. This condition creates a serious safety hazard. If it worsens, it will substantially impair the use or value of my motorcycle. Occurs with clutch in or out, in gear & in neutral. Happens at idle & at various speeds up to 50 MPH. Happens as soon as after five minutes of riding or after an hour of riding. Happens with one or two riders.”
NHTSA complaint #10456682, filed 2012-04, 480 miles“The contact owns a 2010 Bmw K1300 GT. While riding approximately 30 MPH, the odor of fuel was present.
