6Victory year and model combinations have enough on file to be worth a page here, and between them their owners have filed 83 safety complaints with NHTSA. More of those name the body structure than any other system: 27 of them. The single most complained-about is the 2013 Cross Country, with 21.
NHTSA holds 46 recall campaigns naming Victory vehicles, across every model year the agency records rather than only the ones shown here.
Complaints for every published model year of each model added together. A model that sold in larger numbers collects more complaints, and nothing here divides by sales because NHTSA does not publish them.
The systems named most often across every Victory complaint on file. One complaint can name more than one system, so these add up to more than the complaint total. "Unknown or other" is excluded: it is what the intake form records when an owner cannot place the failure.
The newest campaigns naming a Victory, by the date the manufacturer's defect report reached NHTSA. Each one covers a build range, which may be narrower than the model years listed.
