“The contact owns a 2008 Kawasaki Versys (na) motorcycle. The contact dropped the vehicle approximately five times while it was stationary. The ignition module was spinning and he could not remove the key from the ignition. In addition, the vehicle could not be started. The dealer stated that the contact would be responsible for the repairs because the dropping of the bike would not be covered under warranty. Currently, the ignition is stuck in the lock position, the key cannot be removed, and the lights will not illuminate. The failure and current mileages were 2,200.”
