“I have a 2003 Yamaha road star limited silver edition motorcycle, which I purchased from malcolm smith motorsports, riverside. In january 2004, with 2,500 miles on the motorcycle, I had a very dangerous malfunction with the rear brake, causing the rear brake to be applied without applying force to the pedal. During that same week, I received a notice by mail of a recall on the motorcycle involving the transmition (unrelated to the brake).
