Consumer Description

THE BACKREST, WHICH HOLDS THE PASSENGER FROM FALLING OFF THE REAR OF THIS 3 WHEELED MOTORCYCLE, IS MANUFACTURED FROM MATERIALS NOT SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE STRESS PLACED UPON IT, AND HAS BROKEN ON ONE SIDE. IF THE REMAINING SIDE FAILS THE PASSENGER CAN BE THROUGH FROM THE VEHICLE. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS PRODUCT IS ENGINEERED AND MANUFACTURED IN A MANOR IN WHICH SOMEONE WILL BE CATASTROPHICALLY INJURED OR THE END RESULT WILL BE DEATH IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN DETAIL WITH THE REPRESENTING DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS (BRP) BOTH PARTIES HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION, AND BOTH HAVE DECLINED STATING THE FAILING ASSEMBLY IS ?OUT OF WARRANTY? THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA. THE WRITER CAN PROVIDE PICTURES AND A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THIS FAILURE AT MY RESIDENCE. *TR
