Victory Vision Body problems by year

The victory vision has a two piece plastic front fender which is held together with plastic fasteners and mounted directly to the metal forks with metal screws. Vibrations fractured the rear portion of the plastic fender at the point where it contacts the metal forks, this caused the rear portion of the fender to fail, dislodge itself and become wedged between the forks and the main body of the motorcycle affecting steering. Fortunately the speed was low and there was no accident, however, if this incident had...

On routine inspection found a 1 to 2 inch crack in the plastic portion of the front fender. I have been watching for this problem after reading different victory internet sites. This problem has the potential to lock up the front wheel. *Tr

2013 Victory vision. The front rear section of the fender (plastic) cracks where it attaches to the front forks. This is a widely known issue that has happened to 100;s if not 1,000s of victory visions. Polaris refuses to repair or replace, and suggests that it is normal wear and tear. This is a huge safely issue that must be investigated. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 victory vision tour. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, an abnormal noise emitted from the front of the vehicle. The contact stated the fender had detached, the bolt fell out and the plastic on the mud flaps fractured. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer has not been notified of the problem. The failure mileage was 42,000.

Luckily for me I was parked. While washing my vision I noticed the rear section of the front fender was broken & dangling. I removed the piece so it didn't fall off while riding and get wedged in the tire. I have been riding the motorcycle with the front section of the front fender only. It has four bolts holding it on. This morning 7/30/14 (29,700 miles) I heard a rattle while exiting the freeway. The left side has cracked completely loose. Again luckily I was only 2 blocks from work. Now I don't have a front fender on the motorcycle at all. *Tr

Back half of 2 piece front fender broke and separated from forks becoming jammed between tire and lower fairing assembly. Steering bike became difficult. I've read on victory owner websites of many owners having similar issues. Took motorcycle to dealer where I was told that it is not covered by any warranty nor is there any recalls. I need to pay for a replacement piece and installation. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 victory vision motorcycle. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle failed to turn without warning. The contact pulled the vehicle over and noticed that the rear section of the two-piece front fender was jammed between the front fork and lower assembly. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

After making a right turn from a stop sign the rear half of the fender seperated and wedged between the tire and fairing. After inspection the rear half of the fender had broken at the bolt hole and pulled away. I removed and replaced the broken half with a new fender I bought from the victory dealer in k kissimmee, fl. *Js

Ref: investigation pe 14-006 rear section of front wheel fender cracked at mounting points and interfered with steering. Part was replaced by dealer at my expense, not under warrantee. This incident is documented on my dealer's work order #1948. *Js

While riding my 2010 abs victory vision at approximately 45 mph, I heard a scraping sound from the front tire area. Since it was brief I thought nothing of it. Later, on a victory specific website someone posted that the rear section of their front fender had broken free and become lodged in the steering in such a way sat to prevent turning the handle bars. Remembering the odd sound from an earlier ride I checked my bike and found my front fender (rear section) had cracked and was loose. My assumption is that the sound I heard was the plastic rubbing the tire when it first broke loose. *Tr

Back half of front fender cracked at bolts and feel off. I drove over and crashed. *Tr

The left side passenger hand hold bracket broke off with a passenger on the bike when we hit a bump. The bracket appears to be made from pot metal and poses a serious threat to the safety of passengers. Victory/polaris is aware of this and declines warranty and/or recall service stating "the hand hold typically fails from picking up the bike incorrectly." *Tr

Front lower fender is failing. This is the one that snaps off and locks up the steering, you have other reports on this. Inspected for first time and left side of fender is separating from the mount point. This vehicle has only been on the road ~5 months. Purchased new on 08/13. Back when I was in the car business, a steering lockup condition got recalled real quick. I guess that's not true for motorcycles. *Tr
