2007 SUZUKI VZR1800 — Complaint #663116
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR filed March 26, 2008
NHTSA complaint #663116 (ODI reference 10222360) concerns a 2007 SUZUKI VZR1800 and was filed on March 26, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 6, 2008. The vehicle had 11,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Oklahoma based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same SUZUKI VZR1800 cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 SUZUKI VZR1800 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
