Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Purchased motorcycle on 12.6.13, on the drive home realized that the speedometer was unreadable. It was daylight, mid-day. Sun was bright. I was unable to read my speed. It's a digital indicator, with smoked lens. When researching reviews, the only complaint registered was the inability to see the speedometer readings. The company has to be aware of this, and should be required to make the necessary recall adjustments. Otherwise, this safety issue might not be corrected.”
NHTSA complaint #10555324, filed 2013-12, 8 miles“When driving during daylight hours the speedometer can become difficult, if not impossible to read. The added effort needed to get a speed reading distracts from operating a 2 wheeled vehicle creating a dangerous situation.”
