| Description of the problem | I paid for a brand new 2007 harley davidson 1200xl, on july 28, 07. I picked it up from stubbs harley davidson dealer on july 30, 07. The dealer failed to disclose a recall on the motorcycle which was issued in june 07 for the heat shield manifold. Subsequently, i burnt my leg on the pipes, and incurred a lot of pain, and a scar on my leg which is permanent and unsightly. I found out afterwards, that there was a recall on my own from investigation into the incident. The dealer never took any initiative to notify me on their own. I believe the dealer is liable for causing my injury, due to neglect to disclose safety information, which should have been addressed before i bought the motorcycle. This was my first ever motorcycle, and because of this and other issues of neglect by this dealer, i have had to endure countless hours of my time to try and get this dealer to honor safety and ethical issues. |
