Example complaints

Fuel system: “My motorcycle has a plastic gas tank which has begun to expand. The outside dimensions of the tank have increased and it now does not sit correctly in the frame, the handlebars hit it on turning, and it presses against the ignition switch. Previously it opened and closed without problems, now I have to wedge it against the ignition switch to close it. The rubber mounts no longer sit on the frame.”

NHTSA complaint #10341676, filed 2010-07, 3,000 miles

Body and structure: “The plastic fuel tank on my motorcycle is deforming. As a result, it is difficult to remove the tank from the bike, and the tank does not sit properly on the frame.”

NHTSA complaint #10336905, filed 2010-06, 11,000 miles
