“Right saddle bag latch is wearing , no adjustment . When latch wears thru bag will fly open scattering contents and possibly causing a crash to following vehicles. I believe this is a manufacturing defect as I have heard this is an across the board problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10663162, filed 2014-12, 20,000 miles“There is a misalignment between the right side saddlebag latch mechanism and the hoop that it captures when the lid is closed. There is no adjustability built into the design so this a manufacturing defect. The resulting problem is that the softer metal of the latch mechanism is worn away by the harder metal of the hoop, eventually resulting in failure of the latch. This will result in the lid blowing open and the contents of the saddle bag being blown out onto the roadway, potentially causing an accident as following motorists were either struck by the contents or swerved to avoid them. …”
