Old recall at the top and new one at the bottom
Was told the same thing.
Don't how they could legally keep me from riding MY bike.
Something smells rotton..
Just called my dealer and he said the part(s) is backordered. Really? How can a recall part be backordered? I would think they'd manufacture and have in stock immediately enough parts to cover every bike under recall. Backordered? Jeesh.
My dealer supposedly ordered two weeks ago and still waiting for it to come in. I feel bad for those who have dealers holding their bikes hostage until the parts come in.I can't imagine anybody accepting a hostage situation.

Me neither. I wouldn't even bring my bike in for the work until the parts were there.
I had a dealer try to do that to me. He tried to say the bike was unsafe to ride that is why the recall. I said no thanks. He did have some bikes sitting there though. But I guess some people don't mind because they only ride a couple thousand a year if that.
There is just a very slight possibility that conditions would be such as to cause a problem. If I had to estimate, I would say one could be 1,000 times more likely to be seriously injured in some OTHER way than the rear brake freak condition. Being scared about the brake pedal recall is paramount to riding the bike drunk while wearing no helmet, no jacket, no gloves, having cords showing on the tires, and yet being concerned that your boots are not steel-toed.
Your preaching to the choir here.The service manager where I took mine said they had to provide a vin to order the part. Took the # off the recall notice and called when the part came in.
Anyway, my local dealer told me why he hadn't been able to get my brake part yet. He says the dealer where I bought the bike ordered the part against my Vin number so my local dealer couldn't. Since he ordered without the VIN he was pushed to the back of the queue. That's his story and he is sticking to it.
