“The rears brakes on my Victory Vision are working correctly the pedal is going to the floor. All of the pads are brand new. I have bleed the brakes two times they work better then stop working and the pedal after about 45 miles starts to go back to the floor. I have also read that many people are also having the same problem with Victory Vision rear brakes on their bikes.”
NHTSA complaint #10604749, filed 2014-06, 45,000 miles“The rear brakes on my Victory Vision have gone out several times. I have tried everything that I can think of to fix the problem. Victory/polaris needs to recall this item and fix it. Driver safety is of great importance.”
NHTSA complaint #11131683, filed 2018-09, 30,000 miles“After the bike sat for the winter, I found I had no rear brakes. The dealer bled the brakes and they worked fine for about 6 weeks and then went out again; they bled them again. When I rode the other day I noticed the rear brake pedal is going down again. I hate to think what would happen at 70 MPH if someone pulled out in front of me and I had to stop quickly.”
