Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The strap that holds the fuel tank came lose due to the fact that the bolt was not properly installed at factory. They had a recall for corrosion of the straps, this has nothing to due with corrosion. This is poor quality control that can cause serious injury in the case that the fuel tank has contact with the road surface.”
