Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front lower fender is failing. This is the one that snaps off and locks up the steering, you have other reports on this. Inspected for first time and left side of fender is separating from the mount point. This vehicle has only been on the road ~5 months. Purchased new on 08/13. Back when I was in the car business, a steering lockup condition got recalled real quick. I guess that's not true for motorcycles.”
NHTSA complaint #10558244, filed 2014-01, 9,000 miles“Victory Vision motorcycles of all years have been experiencing separation of the rear portion of the two piece front fender assembly. Fender. I have personally seen the cracks and repairs by the owners after a harrowing experience of having the fender come loose and jamming the steering. I own a 2013 Vision and do want to experience the same problem. Given the nature of the defect I am surprised that no-one has been killed by this yet. I don't want it to happen to me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10548727, filed 2013-10, 14,500 miles“The rear portion of the plastic front fender has cracked where the mounting bolts attach it to the front forks. I caught it before it broke loose from the bike. If it comes loose it will wedge itself between the front wheel and the front of the motorcycle making it impossible to steer. This also happened to my 2011 Victory Vision as well as to many other owners. Victory simply replaces the fender with a unit of the same design. This design needs to be updated before someone gets hurt badly.”
NHTSA complaint #10535411, filed 2013-08, 21,301 miles“2013 Victory Vision. The front rear section of the fender (plastic) cracks where it attaches to the front forks. This is a widely known issue that has happened to 100;s if not 1,000s of Victory visions. Polaris refuses to repair or replace, and suggests that it is normal wear and tear. This is a huge safely issue that must be investigated.”
NHTSA complaint #10644548, filed 2014-10, 10,200 miles“On routine inspection found a 1 to 2 inch crack in the plastic portion of the front fender. I have been watching for this problem after reading different Victory internet sites. This problem has the potential to lock up the front wheel.”
