Example complaints

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

“The vehicle is a 2002 Honda cb-900f motorcycle (more often known as the 919). Returning home in the early hours of the morning, the retaining bolt on the gear shift lever (which also serves as its pivot point) worked loose, causing the gear shift lever to drop off the motorcycle, doing some damage to the gear shift lever (which remained attached to the shift mechanism via a rod and a set of universal joints), but more importantly, I was no longer able to shift gears up or down. …”
