Safety recall?

Question

Do I have to keep a motorcycle I just bought if they issued a safety recall on one of the parts. The part can be replaced, however I am still concerned that something else may be wrong with it.

Answer 1

the manufacturer will advise u of what the problem is along with the dealer that sold u the bike. the dealer will then schedule a service appointment to make the repair that is on the manufacturer's tab.
the shop will thoroughly inspect the bike for any other problems before releasing the bike.
edit: here's a link to harleychatgroup. 'kagan' works as a parts manager at steel city harley, and if there's a recall going around with any bike, he posts it.

Answer 2

Can you post the make and model and what the recall entails? I wouldn't say a bike should be sold just because of a recall, the manufacturer is just doing what they need to do to keep you safe (and not get fined or sued!)

Answer 3

Yes you still have to keep it. One recall doesnt mean its a lemon or unsafe.

If you dont want it anymore, trade it in or sell it on your own.

Answer 4

sorry to tell you once you signed your name on the dotted line// that is a lebal and binding contract// thats why only sign what you plan to keep and pay for in full// pay it off then sell it or whatever u feel is right .. im only telling how the law looks at it n///goodluck

Answer 5

the manufacturer should issue you a new revised part if not install it for you free of charge

keeping it is up to you

Answer 6

If your dealer is worth a tinkers damn he'll take care of this for you if not he's a jerk and should never be delt with again
