Consumer Description

RECALL NOTICE 03V309000 YAMAHA RECALL OF DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION PARTS THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH: I RECEIVED THE NOTICE ON JANUARY 10, 2004 AND CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REQUIRED REPAIR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR KITS ARE TO BE PROVIDED BY YAMAHA AND THEY WOULD CALL ME TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THE STATED THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED ONLY A FEW KITS AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR IF THEY WILL BE RECEIVING ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIR KITS. AS A RESULT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOW RIDING THE DEFECTIVE MOTORCYCLES AND ARE IN DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH. SOME OF US USE OUR MOTORCYCLES AS DAILY TRANSPORTATION; BECAUSE YAMAHA REFUSES TO PROVIDE THE KITS IN A TIMELY MANNER, THEY ARE PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK.*AK
