TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BIG DOG MASTIFF. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THREE RECALL NOTICES FOR HIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2007, JANUARY OF 2008, AND MARCH OF 2008. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY STATED THAT NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE CALLED THE DEALER BACK, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. HE ATTEMPTED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER, BUT COULD NOT REACH A REPRESENTATIVE. THE THREE RECALLS WERE IN REGARDS TO THE REAR FENDER STRUT BOLT, A VOLTAGE REGULATOR, AND A BALANCING ISSUE. THE RECALL NUMBERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE REAR FENDER STRUT ATTACHING BOLTS CAN FAIL ALLOWING THE REAR FENDER TO DETACH FROM THE MOTORCYCLE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND COULD RESULT IN AN INJURY OR A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE EXISTING STRUT BOLTS AND REPLACE WITH HIGHER TENSILE STRENGTH ATTACHING BOLTS AND UPDATED WASHERS. HIGHER TORQUE VALUES WILL BE OBSERVED WHEN INSTALLING THE REPLACEMENT FASTENERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 21, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BIG DOG AT 316-267-9121.
