In The Last Six Months Alone, Many Major Motorcycle Manufacturers Have Issued Serious Recalls for Defects Which Have the Potential to Cause Serious Injuries or Death
As an experienced Pennsylvania motorcycle accident lawyer, I am well aware of the fact that in the last 10 years, the number of motorcycle registrations in the United States has doubled to well over 7 million units and that motorcycles are becoming increasingly popular. Motorcycle fatalities represent 5% of all highway fatalities in America each year. Many product defects have been identified in motorcycles which in an automobile environment might amount to an inconvenience but are deadly for a motorcycle rider. Many defects on motorcycles are potentially life threatening and consist of the following:
1. Metallurgical issues on the frame and drag link assemblies;
2. Fuel system leaks;
3. Engine case and engine component metallurgical defects causing corrosion;
4. Manufacturing defects and foot placement and mounting;
5. Throttle body malfunction;
6. Tire failure;
7. Improper motorcycle frame integrity;
8. Defective welding;
9. Defective fuel tank and fuel delivery systems.
The breach of any one of these systems or defects has a significant likelihood of leading to a catastrophic injury or death.
