Motorcycle Recalls
Everyone assumes that the new bike they buy will
be trouble-free. In fact, many riders only buy
new bikes to eliminate some of the repair problems
associated with used bikes. However, motorcycles
do develop problems and some are serious enough
that they have to be fixed using a motorcycle
recall program.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) maintains a database of such defects
including all sorts of vehicles. I have extracted
motorcycle recalls from this database. I intend to
provide complete data for each year back to 2000.
As I receive new motorcycle recalls, I will be
updating this Motorcycle Recalls feature to whatever
years are in the new motorcycle recalls.
Currently, I have complete motorcycle recall
data for 2001-2005.
When I receive new motorcycle recalls, I will post
them in my Motorcycles Blog, my Motorcycles Newsletter
and in this Motorcycle Recalls feature.
Click the following link to see if your motorcycle
has been recalled for a safety defect.
