Example complaints

Body and structure: “After making a right turn from a stop sign the rear half of the fender seperated and wedged between the tire and fairing. After inspection the rear half of the fender had broken at the bolt hole and pulled away. I removed and replaced the broken half with a new fender I bought from the Victory dealer in k kissimmee, fl.”

NHTSA complaint #10592181, filed 2014-05, 28,000 miles

Brakes: “Almost all owners I know are having rear brake failures on their Victory visions with ABS. The brakes seem to taking air in and you are left with no brakes. 2011 to 2017 I have gone to use my brakes and found I had none in the back. Causing me to use all front brakes and of course a much longer stopping distance. This is very dangerous.”

NHTSA complaint #11355654, filed 2020-09, 13,460 miles

Fuel system: “Bought a 2011 Victory Vision motorcycle from day one it has a strong raw gas smell.the dealer says that there is nothing wrong that is just the it is. I think that it's a safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10461072, filed 2012-06, 10 miles

Steering: “While traveling out of state on a trip, the lower black plastic front fender came loose from the fork attachments and jammed itself into the maw/lower jaw of my fairing making turning the motorcycle impossible at low speeds and noticeably different at high speeds. The hole provided in the plastic part wore through allowing the wind to catch the lower fender and lodge it into the fairing. Talking to other Victory Vision owners has LED me to believe that the breakage of the front fender is not a rare occurrence among those of us who put substantial mileage on our motorcycles. …”
