THE PUT OUT A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" FOR THIS ISSUE - BUT HAVE NOT SEEN THAT THE UNITS ARE BEING REPAIRED. THE FIRST SCOOTER BURNED IN 2008 IN NEW YORK AND [XXX] SENT THE TECHNICIAN TO NEW YORK TO OUR DEALER [XXX] . THE TECHNICIAN FROM [XXX] THAT INSPECTED THE BURNED UNITS WAS [XXX] HE IS NO LONGER WITH CFMOTO - DON'T KNOW IF HE WILL TALK. THIS SCOOTER WAS COMPLETELY BURNED. THE FIRE IS STARTING IN THE EXHAUST AND THE TECH BULLETIN ISSUED BYPASSES THE PROBLEM. [XXX] , PRESIDENT OF [XXX] , HAS DONE HIS BEST TO HIDE THIS PROBLEM. MORE SCOOTERS HAVE BURNED AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS SITUATION SHOULD NOT BE HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC AND SHOULD NOT BE HANDLED AS A "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN"... A TOTAL RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. [XXX] IS MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE MONEY HE CAN MAKE - INSTEAD OF CONSUMERS LIVES!!!!! AS FAR AS I KNOW - [XXX] HAS TOLD [XXX] IN CHINA THAT ALL OF THE SCOOTERS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED... HE HAS BLATANTLY LIED TO THEM. HE IS A CON-ARTIST AND HAS FOOLED THEM ON MORE THAN THIS ISSUE... I AM SURE HE POCKETED THE MONEY THEY PAID FOR THIS ISSUE ALSO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! NOW... TIME TO FILL IN THE IRS. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] I LISTED THIS AS A WILDFIRE - IT IS NOT - IT IS A CFMOTO - BUT THIS MANUFACTURER IS NOT LISTED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
