Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brake failure due to lining coming off backing plate. I was driving along, went to stop at a light, apply brakes and pedal went to floor. I replaced the rear brakes where the lining had came off. One week later the same thing happened to the front brakes but that happened while backing out of the garage. In the case of the front brakes, I still have both lining and backing plate. The vehicle only had 17k miles and had plenty of lining life left (had just pass a state inspection) just seems odd and everyone I talk with says manufacture defect.”
NHTSA complaint #10278661, filed 2009-07, 17,168 miles“Dt: the contact stated front caliper fell off of the motorcycle the first day he purchased it. The dealer did not think it was a problem. The mechanic torqued it down to the proper specifications. This happened on 3-25-05. The contact received a letter from the dmv telling him the PSI on the tires was wrong. The dealer left the tire pressure the way it was.”
