NHTSA Complaint #10585085 — 2010 VICTORY VISION

WHILE RIDING MY 2010 ABS VICTORY VISION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, I HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND FROM THE FRONT TIRE AREA. SINCE IT WAS BRIEF I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. LATER, ON A VICTORY SPECIFIC WEBSITE SOMEONE POSTED THAT THE REAR SECTION OF THEIR FRONT FENDER HAD BROKEN FREE AND BECOME LODGED IN THE STEERING IN SUCH A WAY SAT TO PREVENT TURNING THE HANDLE BARS. REMEMBERING THE ODD SOUND FROM AN EARLIER RIDE I CHECKED MY BIKE AND FOUND MY FRONT FENDER (REAR SECTION) HAD CRACKED AND WAS LOOSE. MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE SOUND I HEARD WAS THE PLASTIC RUBBING THE TIRE WHEN IT FIRST BROKE LOOSE. *TR
