Example complaints

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

“I just bought a brand new 2009 Ducati sport 1000 motorcycle. Have put about 160 miles on the bike and parked it outside work for 2 hours in direct sunlight. The gas tank was half full. When I returned to the bike the tank had expanded approximately 2 inches from left to right and 1 inch from front to back. It started to look like the shape of a banana. The tank was completely loose enough to lift off the frame. I opened the gas tank and a gush of air escaped and the tank shrunk back down about 75% which left creases in the tanks surface along with ripples in the surface. …”
