I WAS NOTIFIED OF SAFETY RECALL UPON INITIAL TITLING OF MY BIKE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY BIKE TO MY NEAREST HONDA SERVICE CENTER IN TAMPA, "EXTREME POWERSPORTS" . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ASKED ME TO RETURN IN A WEEK AND SAID IT WAS SAFE TO RIDE. I RETURNED ON AGREED DATE & TIME TO HAVE THE RECALL ADDRESSED. AFTER A FEW HOURS I RECEIVED A CALL TO PICK UP MY BIKE AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK MY BIKE DID NOT FAIL THE HONDA TEST, SO IT WAS SAFE. NOW A YEAR LATER I FIND THE EXACT LEAKING VENT LINE THAT IS A SAFETY RECALL HAS FAILED AS HONDA SAID IT WOULD. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT EXTREME POWERSPORTS DID NOT PROPERLY INSPECT THE ISSUE. IN FACT THE TECH WA CAUGHT IN A LIE ABOUT MY BIKE FALLING OFF THE LIFT THEY HAD MY BIKE ON. I HAVE DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT AND HAVE VERBAL STATEMENT FROM SERVICE MANAGER STATING MY BIKE WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE TECH FAILED TO SECURE THE MOTORCYCLE. EXTREME POWESPORTS ALSO FAILED TO UPDATE THE DATABASE ABOUT PERFORMING THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO THE LACK OF A REQUIRED TOOL TO PERFORM SAID REPAIR. THE PARTS DESK CLERK INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A TOOL ON SITE. I WILL BE HIRING A ATTORNEY AND SEEKING DAMAGES AND LEGAL FEES

MALE WAS KILLED ON A MOTORCYCLE CBR 1000RR. AFTER HIS DEATH I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALLS I ALSO NOTIFIED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO, INC THEY SENT OUT A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK AT THE BIKE TO SEE IF THEY WERE ANY DEFECTS HE TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES COUPLE MONTHS WENT BY I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BIKE. I ASKED THE INVESTIGATOR, HOW CAN YOU TELL ME THIS WHEN THE BIKE WAS NEVER TAKEN TO CHECK FOR ANY DEFECTS YOU CANT JUST TAKE PICTURES? YOU NEED TO REALLY HAVE A PROFESSIONAL PICK UP THE BIKE AND REALLY GO THROUGH AN INSPECTION I WAS TOLD OK ILL GIVE YOU A CALL BACK I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. THE BIKE WAS BRAND NEW I NEED SOME CLOSURE TO THIS I REALLY NEED A PROFESSIONAL TO SEE IF THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WE LOST A BIG PART OF OUR FAMILY MY NEPHEW. *TR
