Demand the parts. They may just send them specifically to the dealers for the members mentioned in the letter. Demand it, then follow through on the threat if not delivered in a timely manner. One of you needs to contact a lawyer. Most will do this pro-bono, and Kawasaki will have to pay the attorneys fees.

I agree with this. I can't imagine that Kawasaki has been sufficiently legally challenged, otherwise the situation would be different. This is definitely a Kawasaki Corporation issue, not the fault of the dealers. All the dealers can do is wait for Kawi to send them the recall parts. But again, until the consumers light a fire under Kawasaki's a$$ and ruffle some feathers, I don't think much will change.

I'd like to see what transpires from this incident. I'd say Kawasaki is in the clear, but that's just from a few scant statements from a web page. All we need is for the CPSC to get wind of this one, too............ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Funny, I got a call this morning that my dealership got 8 kits in for the P400. Im bringing it in Tommorrow and he said they are getting quicker at doing them and I might have it back that same day, or Tuesday at the very latest. I wont talk anymore about trading it in, I need to go apologize to it now.....

if he had read the letter that it was recalled and then still rode, that is a problem an in Kawasaki's favor....although we know how courts work, they will say he could have been killed anytime before that also....so Kawasaki will ending paying if a lawsuit is filed....

but what did he die from? doesn't say in the article if it was from the crash, his chest/heart problems, or anything...i guess an autopsy will tell
