Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

Honda technician newsletter - Rider Seat InstallationWhen installing the rider seat on NM4, be sure to insert the front two prongs (one on each side) into their respective stays. If these prongs are not inserted fully, the seat may be difficult to install and remove. Top shelter installation - Several Honda models have a plastic top shelter that installs over a gas cap assembly that includes a rubber insulator around its circumference.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
