Example complaints

“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“Back half of 2 piece front fender broke and separated from forks becoming jammed between tire and lower fairing assembly. Steering bike became difficult. I've read on Victory owner websites of many owners having similar issues. Took motorcycle to dealer where I was told that it is not covered by any warranty nor is there any recalls. I need to pay for a replacement piece and installation.”
NHTSA complaint #10606364, filed 2014-06, 35,500 miles“I was slowing down at the stop sign and as I started to steer the bike to the right the bike would not respond. I was able to stop the bike safely due to my slow speed and upon investigation, I noticed that the rear part of the front fender (which is made out of plastic) broke at the mounts and lodge itself into the lower part of the front fairing thus locking up my steering. I will be talking with my dealer about this on monday. However, I have heard that this has happened with many other Vision owners on the different motorcycle forums that I belong to. …”
NHTSA complaint #10534743, filed 2013-08, 24,800 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10535066, filed 2013-08, 49,226 miles“Upon completion of cross country trip discovered broken rear half of front fender.the break was on right side around mounting hole to front lower fork.no apparent cracks or breaks yet on left side.polaris regards this as a cosmetic flaw not structural or design. There have been numerous reports of both fender mounts breaking causing front fender rear half to separate and get wrapped up in front wheel and steering forks creating a dangerous situation at highway speeds.”
