Incident: March 1, 2026 · Filed: April 28, 2026

Cluster seal failed causing moisture to build up under the glass. Escalated to the point where the cluster does not illuminate at all. I can not see my speed, miles, gear, or even how much gas I have which is a huge safety concern for being able to ride in the road with other people. Knowing my speed and gear I’m in is essential to safely drive. Dealership did submit for goodwill with manufacturer which was denied due to being out of factory warranty. The issue presented itself just with water visibly under the glass about 1-3 months ago.
