NHTSA Complaint #10239164 — 2007 HARLEY-DAVIDSON XL1200L

I PAID FOR A BRAND NEW 2007 HARLEY DAVIDSON 1200XL, ON JULY 28, 07. I PICKED IT UP FROM STUBBS HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALER ON JULY 30, 07. THE DEALER FAILED TO DISCLOSE A RECALL ON THE MOTORCYCLE WHICH WAS ISSUED IN JUNE 07 FOR THE HEAT SHIELD MANIFOLD. SUBSEQUENTLY, I BURNT MY LEG ON THE PIPES, AND INCURRED A LOT OF PAIN, AND A SCAR ON MY LEG WHICH IS PERMANENT AND UNSIGHTLY. I FOUND OUT AFTERWARDS, THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY OWN FROM INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT. THE DEALER NEVER TOOK ANY INITIATIVE TO NOTIFY ME ON THEIR OWN. I BELIEVE THE DEALER IS LIABLE FOR CAUSING MY INJURY, DUE TO NEGLECT TO DISCLOSE SAFETY INFORMATION, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE. THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER MOTORCYCLE, AND BECAUSE OF THIS AND OTHER ISSUES OF NEGLECT BY THIS DEALER, I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE COUNTLESS HOURS OF MY TIME TO TRY AND GET THIS DEALER TO HONOR SAFETY AND ETHICAL ISSUES. *TR
