Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While reassembling my motorcycle (due to an unrelated repair), the fuel tank began to leak due to a hole worn into the tank from a hex bolt that holds on a plastic rear skirt. It appears that several years of abrasion, due to the hex bolt mounting hole being too close to the tank (possibly due to a manufacturing or assembly defect) caused the tank metal to become compromised. When I reassembled the motorcycle the hex bolt was able to penetrate the wall of the weakened metal, thus causing the hole. …”
