Riding a motorcycle is unlike anything else a person can experience. Feeling
the wind on your face, seeing the world around as it fly’s past
you on the road, and the freedom to cut through traffic is something unique
for those who travel on motorcycles. And while they are both exhilarating
and travel efficient, they are also extremely dangerous ride. A number
of factors can lead to accidents for riders including driver negligence
on behalf of the motorcyclist,
driver negligence for others on the road, dangers on the road or highway itself, as well as
defective motorcycles and parts.
What many may not realize is that one small malfunction on a bike could
result in a disaster for its rider, which is why the government has established
the National Highway Traffic Safety Association to conduct recalls on
different transportation devices. A recall is a means of protecting the
consumers from accidents from safety issues and defects that a vehicle
or motorcycle may be experiencing. In order for a safety recall to be
made, the NHTSA will thoroughly investigate the matter and determined
that the product was in fact defective and therefore a danger to the people.
Even in the event that a defect is found and a recall is not conducted
by the NHTSA, it is still the responsibility of the manufacturer to notify
the people and take action for a remedy of the problem and then if needed
to conduct their own recall on the product. In some cases a number of
accidents and injuries may have led to the discovery of a certain defect,
thereby making the manufacturer responsible for the accidents. Even when
a person hears of a recall and they were not notified by the manufacturer,
it is still their right to obtain a remedy free of charge according to
the federal safety laws.
