Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact owns a 2007 Bmw R1200 S. The contact stated that the horn is inadequate. He has notified the dealer and the manufacturer, but they are not taking any action. The horn alert is weak and barely audible, which can be very hazardous. He stated that the electrical system has been redesigned, therefore the vehicle is only equipped for this particular horn. The powertrain was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 800.”
