NHTSA Complaint #10558229 — 2011 BMS SPORT FLASH 150

I WAS RIDING THE BIKE ON A COUNTY ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF ANTONIO PKWY AND LA PROMESA IN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE ON THE ABOVE DATE. I NOTICED A MARKED DIFFERENCE IN THE STEERING OF THE BIKE. AT THE SAME TIME A MOTORIST FLAGGED ME AND POINTED TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE SCOOTER. WHEN I STOPPED I NOTICED THAT THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE AND REAR WHEEL HAD FAILED. THIS IS POSSIBLY A CASTING DEFECT. ATTEMPTS TO RECTIFY THIS MATTER WITH THE DEALER HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE. THIS FAILURE CAUSED $419.86 IN DAMAGE TO THE SCOOTER, WHICH I CAN PROVIDE. HAD THE MOTORIST NOT FLAGGED ME DOWN, THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. *TR
