This is the second recall on the rear brake linkage on the C-14 (same exact parts being replaced too).
It has happened a few times on the original bikes but I have not heard of any jams with the updated linkage (the first recall). That said, obviously there was a problem or they would not have done the second recall. Those that did have issues usually had the caliper lock onto the rotor and not let go.... until the rotor turned blue, the pads were wiped out and in some cases, the caliper was a little chewed up. A few bikes had the axle get so hot it changed color and the rear bearing on the rt. side got pretty hot as well.
Some dealers will not order the parts until a customer drops the bike off, some will. Sounds like yours will not, and while not very helpful, they can make that a requirement if they choose to do so. A good dealer will order the parts, and then put them on the bike while you wait (takes about 5 minutes) but not everyone has one of those dealers nearby unfortunately.

Since the Good Times warranty was transferable I did so. On the day I get the paperwork I get subject recall Notice. I'm assuming this is old news given this particular recall originated in 2012. I call the dealer and service says "drop the bike off and leave it here, probably 2-3 days we don't have the parts" The notice says it takes 30 minutes for the fix? I suggest ordering the part and they won't since "they're liable if I have an accident while the parts are on order" Sounds like debris can get trapped between the pedal and pedal cover causing brake drag and overheating. My question is how pervasive was/is this issue? This service person's attitude and tone wouldn't have won him any customer service awards. That being said, if this particular issue is really a big problem then I'll deal with the poor attitude and inconvenience.
As always thanks for the counsel...
