YAMAHA Complaints

I RECIEVED A SAFTY RECALL NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT LEADS TO REAR WHEEL LOCK UP AND CRASH. THE RECALL ADVISES TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO ORIGINAL DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND WOULD NOT BE FOR A MONTH AND A HALF. THE BIKE SITS AT THE DEALER AND CANNOT BE RIDDEN.

YAMAHA RECALL FOR THE XV16 0N 08/22/03 THAT IS ON YOUR WEB SITE. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM YAMAHE ON THE 01/09/04. YAMAHA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CONDUCT THE DEFECT REPAIR. THIS BIKE WAS SOLD TO ME BY RIVA SOUTH DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2003. IF THE BIKE WAS ON RECALL THE DEALER SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICULE. THIS IS A BAD SITUATION SINCE YAMAHA IS NOT DELIVERING THE REQUIRED PARTS TO THEIR DEALERS IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? I AM PAYING HIGH INSURANCE AND HAVE LOST MY SOLE METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION. RIVE SOUTH. MR. MIKE MARTIN 305-451-3320

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM YAMAHA CORP. U.S.A. CONCERNING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 YAMAHA ROADSTAR WARRIOR MOTORCYCLE. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT IF THE BIKE IS OPERATED ACCORDING TO YAMAHA. I CALLED THREE LOCAL YAMAHA DEALERS AND ALL OF THEM INFORMED ME THAT YAMAHA CORPORATION U.S.A. HAD NOT PROVIDED THEM WITH THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ONE DEALER SAID EXPECT TO WAIT UNTIL ABOUT JUNE OR JULY BECAUSE ONCE THEY GOT THE PARTS THEY COULD FIX ONLY ABOUT TWO OR THREE MOTORCYCLES A WEEK. I FEEL YAMAHA SHOULD BUY THE BIKE BACK OR ISSUE A REFUND. SINCE THEY CANNOT COMPLY AND FIX THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER.*AK
