Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

YAMAHA RECALL FOR THE XV16 0N 08/22/03 THAT IS ON YOUR WEB SITE. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM YAMAHE ON THE 01/09/04. YAMAHA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CONDUCT THE DEFECT REPAIR. THIS BIKE WAS SOLD TO ME BY RIVA SOUTH DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2003. IF THE BIKE WAS ON RECALL THE DEALER SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICULE.

I AM PAYING HIGH INSURANCE AND HAVE LOST MY SOLE METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION. RIVE SOUTH. MR. MIKE MARTIN 305-451-3320
