The Manufacturers' Responsibility
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the manufacturers themselves instigate a motorcycle recall when a defect is discovered in a motorcycle. Regardless of whether a manufacturer or the NHTSA brought about the recall, the manufacture must file a public report that describes the defect, how it was discovered, and how the manufacturer will fix the defect. The manufacturer must also issue a scheduled time frame for the recall and attempt to notify owners of the motorcycles that have the defect. Even if the motorcycle owner is not notified of the recall, the manufacturer is bound by federal law to provide free repair to any motorcycle that has been the subject of a recall. Individuals involved in motorcycle crashes should contact an attorney at our New York firm to determine if a defective part or product might have been responsible for the accident.
