This recall happened in March. Honda did not notify me until May. As of today, 7/14, they are saying it will be August before they can fix the scooter. In the meantime, I can't ride it for safety reasons, so it is useless to me. Paying insurance and storing it but not able to use it. Even had a buyer and the sale did not go through due to the recall. Honda is not fixing it in a reasonable time frame (60 days), and yet I know that they replaced the part on scooters sitting on dealers' showroom floors. Their response it totally unacceptable since I cannot use the vehicle. Manufacturer Recall NumberKR9 NHTSA Recall Number25V195 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete
