“I have a 2011 Victory Cross Country motorcycle. The saddlebag latch on the right side is wearing improperly due to improper alignment. This is a known issue with this motorcycle. My dealer, Victory motorcycles, and polaris have refused to issue a replacement. Without repair, the latch will wear through and the saddlebag lid will not be able to be secured.”
NHTSA complaint #10644692, filed 2014-10, 11,000 miles“The latch on the right side saddle bag is wearing its way through the latch bracket. Several Victory Cross Country owners have sited that their bracket has sheared right through thus allowing the saddlebag lid to fly open when vehicle is in motion. My bracket has not sheared through yet but the cut is 1/2 way through. Victory's response to the problem is that I must buy a whole new lock set at an astronomical cost. The problem does not exist on the left saddle bad because the bracket is reversed on that side and will not suffer the vibration related wear that the right side does. …”
