Example complaints

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

“I recently discovered that the brake light does not activate when applying the front brake lever. I became aware of the issue only after noticing that the motorcycle’s cruise control system would no longer engage. Upon researching the cruise control malfunction, I found numerous reports from owners indicating that failed front or rear brake pressure switches were the root cause. In almost all cases, the faulty brake pressure switch prevented the brake light from functioning properly. …”
