ALMOST ALL OWNERS I KNOW ARE HAVING REAR BRAKE FAILURES ON THEIR VICTORY VISIONS WITH ABS. THE BRAKES SEEM TO TAKING AIR IN AND YOU ARE LEFT WITH NO BRAKES. 2011 TO 2017 I HAVE GONE TO USE MY BRAKES AND FOUND I HAD NONE IN THE BACK. CAUSING ME TO USE ALL FRONT BRAKES AND OF COURSE A MUCH LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT THE STOP SIGN AND AS I STARTED TO STEER THE BIKE TO THE RIGHT THE BIKE WOULD NOT RESPOND. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE BIKE SAFELY DUE TO MY SLOW SPEED AND UPON INVESTIGATION, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR PART OF THE FRONT FENDER (WHICH IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC) BROKE AT THE MOUNTS AND LODGE ITSELF INTO THE LOWER PART OF THE FRONT FAIRING THUS LOCKING UP MY STEERING. I WILL BE TALKING WITH MY DEALER ABOUT THIS ON MONDAY. HOWEVER, I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MANY OTHER VISION OWNERS ON THE DIFFERENT MOTORCYCLE FORUMS THAT I BELONG TO. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I FILE A COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE AS IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT VICTORY IS DOING ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR

Is 12 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2011 and 2020, roughly 1 a year, which is about the same as the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
