Yea, my LBS emailed us about it several weeks ago, before Dahon put it out to the public.
ReplyDeleteA good reason to register product! I didn't know about the earlier, private recall notice.
ReplyDeleteI registered my bike but was not notified. On top of that, my dealer in NYC (Sids a large bike dealer) has had my bike for 2 weeks now and reports they have received zero recall parts from Dahon.
ReplyDeleteI wrote to Dahon, never got an answer of any kind.
I think their actions are deplorable. Recalling 11,000+ bikes without having the parts? I live in NYC August is pretty much the summer for us and mine has been ruined.
