I OWN A VICTORY POLARIS 2000 V92C SE. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE. I ONLY HAD 6,000 MILES ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IT FAILED IN 4TH GEAR WITH SEVERAL DROPS, SKIPPING AND FALSE NEUTRALS.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
