NHTSA Complaint #10852094 — 2008 VICTORY VISION TOUR

HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH REAR BRAKE FAILURE. REAR BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND DOES NOT ENGAGE THE BRAKES. NO LEAK SIGNS OF ANY FLUID. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH VICTORY MOTORCYCLES AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE. WWW.VISION-RIDERS.COM. I HAVE HAD MY BIKE IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS ISSUE. THE BRAKES WERE BLED EVERY TIME THE REAR BRAKES FAILED. I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET, A BLACK IN COLOR CHEVROLET TRUCK HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BY FRONT AND REAR BREAKS. WHEN I APPLIED MY REAR BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOD. I DOWNSHIFTED AS FAST HAS I COULD IN ORDER TO AVOID STRIKING THE VEHICLE. THE BIKE WAS THEN TOWED HOME. I WAS TOLD THAT AIR WAS IN THE SYSTEM BUT NO LEAKS HAVE EVER BEEN FOUND. VICTORY DEALERSHIP STATED THAT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN PUT OUT BY VICTORY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THANK YOU. *TR
