Greetings.  I was notified earlier this year of a recall on my bike.  The recall was issued in February, 2021 for a safety issue with the fuel pump.  While my dealer has been very understanding and responsive, I am told the part is not available and they have no idea when they will be able to repair this important safety defect.   It has now been over 8 months since the recall and there is no information about the required repair.  I am growing concerned about the safety issue with this situation and would like to know when I can expect the part to be available so that my personal safety is not at risk.  Please advise.  Thanks.  NHTSA Recall Number21V060

IN THREE SEPARATE EVENTS, MY K1600GTL ENGINE SHUTDOWN AT FULL SPEED (75 MPH, 55 MPH) WHILE ON THE THROTTLE WITH NO ADVANCE NOTICE. ALL THREE EVENTS WERE 'ON THE THROTTLE' EVENTS - NOT COASTING. THE BIKE ENGINE SHUTDOWN ABRUPTLY AND THE BIKE JOLTED FORWARD. I HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION DURING ALL THREE EVENTS TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CONSIDER THEM TO BE SIGNIFICANT NEAR MISSES THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. IMMEDIATELY UPON GETTING THE BIKE OFF THE ROAD, THE BIKE WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I SWITCHED THE IGNITION KEY TO OFF, THEN ON, THE BIKE STARTED RIGHT UP AND I WAS ABLE TO RIDE. THE DEALER INDICATED THE FIX WAS A...
