NHTSA Complaint #11415239 — 2016 YAMAHA FJR1300

YAMAHA HAS ISSUED 2 SAFETY RECALLS FOR MY MOTORCYCLE 1/21/2021. VIN [XXX]. IT IS A 2016 YAMAHA FJR 1300. ONE IS FOR FRONT BRAKE SWITCH MAY FAIL, THE 2ND IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION'S SECOND GEAR NOT BEING STRONG ENOUGH AND THE GEAR COULD BREAK POSSIBLY CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION, REAR WHEEL TO LOCK AND NOT ROTATE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND DROPPED THE BIKE AT A DEALER. IT HAS BEEN 50 DAYS, AND NO PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. BOTH DEALER AND YAMAHA MOTOR CORP SAY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. YAMAHA STATED YESTERDAY THAT THE NEEDED PARTS ARE IN JAPAN. PARTS ARE EXPECTED IN JUNE 16, 2021. YAMAHA ALSO STATED THEY HAVE ALREADY DELAYED PARTS BY ONE MONTH, AND WILL MOST LIKELY DO IT AGAIN, A LITTLE BEFORE THE JUNE 16, 2021 DATE. HELP ME. THE RECALL STATES "YOU SHOULD NOT OPERATE YOUR AFFECTED MOTORCYCLE... UNTIL THE MODIFICATIONS ARE PERFORMED". SO, I AM STUCK WITH NO MOTORCYCLE, AND THERE IS NO COMPLETION DATE FOR YAMAHA COMPLETING THE REQUIRED RECALL REPAIRS. WHAT IS MY COMPENSATION FOR LOSE OF USE OF MY MOTORCYCLE FOR 50 DAYS ( AND MOST LIKELY UP TO 41 TO 70 MORE DAYS OF WAITING!)? SINCERELY, [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
