2026: “The oil level in my motorcycle has continued to drop every time I take it to the dealership to get inspected, and 7 months after I was notified about the recall, there is still no repair available for my vehicle. This is unacceptable as i am unable to ride my motorcycle across long distances and am inconvenienced every 300 miles to get it inspected at my dealership. There needs to be a solution asap to repair my vehicle.”
