I believe the issue Kawasaki was initially having was they cannot post a Recall until approved by the Feds. Through December and January, the Feds were very slow to respond to the paperwork. Once they got it approved, the second approval was very quick. Now just to wait on the parts
My suspicion is that Kawi knew they had the steering issue so they stalled the first recall on purpose (utilizing slow government process to their advantage) until steering fix was figured out. The part they didn’t anticipate is the Coronavirus messing up their cheap manufacturing sources. I bet they could have paid more to another manufacturer and already have parts, but now Coronavirus has the whole world messed up.
I want to take a moment to thank each and every forum member who have posted on this thread. You guys have provided me with so much more information than my dealer or Kawasaki. I would be remiss if I didn't mention a couple of chuckles along the way as well.
I truly appreciate your taking the time and making the effort to share the information you have gathered.
