Example complaints

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

“My 2005 Suzuki c50 motorcycle has developed cracks in the front and rear hubs of the wheels. The motorcycle has less than 500 miles on it and is still under warranty. In notifying Suzuki of the problems they conveyed to me that this is not a defect and where not liable. But my neighbor's wife has the same style bike and hers has the same cracks on both hubs. I have not wrecked the bike ,I've barely ridden it in the past six months. …”

NHTSA complaint #10150003, filed 2006-02, 477 miles

“My 2005 Suzuki c50 motorcycle has developed cracks in the front and rear hubs of the wheels. The motorcycle has less than 2000 miles on it. I found the cracks after learning about them on the internet. These cracks appear to be very common with this bike. Suzuki should investigate and either replace the rims or notify the owners if this is not something to be concerned with. I would like to continue riding my bike without fear of a wheel breaking apart.”
