Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Yamaha has recalled my motorcycle according to the company description of recalled bikes (Road Star 2002, which was confirmed by my dealer). When I asked my dealer to order the parts they refused saying that Yamaha demands a letter accompany the request for parts. I explained that I have not received the letter from Yamaha and I am unable to reach customer service as it is keeping me on hold for up to 25 . They will not schedule the repair or order parts until I get a letter. There are 27 bikes already scheduled for repairs, and the list grows longer. …”
