NHTSA Complaint #11151519 — 2017 HUSQVARNA FE 501 S

THE CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER SEAL FAILED MAKING THE CLUTCH INOPERABLE. I WAS MOVING ON A DIRT ROAD AT THE TIME MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT GEARS. THE SEAL HAD A RIP CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE MOTORCYCLE HAD 813 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE AND IT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE I TOOK POSSESSION. IN READING ON THE INTERNET FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS, WHICH THERE WERE MANY, THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION, HAD I BEEN IN TRAFFIC I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISENGAGE THE ENGINE FROM THE WHEEL. IT MAY HAVE CAUSED ME TO REAR END SOMEONE.
