[QUOTE="FJR-Pilot, post: 549248, member: 4413"] Background: I called my local Yamaha shop last week to see if they installed the "recall" ignition switch when they repaired my ignition switch failure back in December 08. The service manager gave me a thumbs up and said I got the recall ignition part. But I did not get a "warm fuzzy" from him when I asked what the recall part number was and what the old part number was (he couldn't produce). That's when I hung up and decided to call Yamaha myself. Glad I did because the dealer used an ignition switch that was issued prior to the recall. What a slack-ass moron. The service manager worked really hard to convince me he knew what he was talking about and that I was safe. I already almost got killed once and this guy was taking a 2nd whack at it. F-ing Jerk. Anyway. Just got off the phone with Yamaha Corporate and they confirmed the part my local Yamaha dealer (jerk off) installed on my bike in December is NOT the right part. Additionally the Yamaha rep said even if the dealer somehow got the right part (which he didn't) the local dealer MUST fill out the "recall application", submit it to Yamaha Corporate for their records, AND the VIN on the frame neck must be stamped indicating the repair was made. None of which was done to my bike. This is the proverbial 3rd strike for this dealer. I'll be heading to the one 32 miles away from now on instead of them. [/QUOTE]
