I just went to see the dealer to see if there was any news about the Firebolt headlight recall. He said we won't be getting it here, (in Japan). Whats the deal with that? The recall bulletin clearly said it included the Japan model. My headlights are clearly F$%#ed so why wont they fix it? Did i pay any less money for my Buell? No. Are they any less dangerous than the faulty headlights in other countries? No. Could their failure lead to serious harm or injury including death? YES!

Im a bit pissed off about this. We all waited for a fix for this problem, then the solution came but Im still waiting. Honestly I wouldnt have minded even paying for the new parts (probably what Ill have to do) if thats what the final outcome was. But it wasnt, everyone else got a free recall where is mine, let alone all the Firebolt riders in japan. If I could speak the language better Id be organizing some kind of protest.

Anyone know the number of the Buell complaints department? I cant seem to find it on any of the websites.

Send me the recall number, your VIN, your full contact info and that or your servicing dealer and let's see if we can't help.

Court - if you need someone to pull the bulletin itself, let me know. I can send you the PDF if you get me a number.

I believe, however, some pertinent information may be here (quick search on H-Dnet brought up the notice). Forgive the lost formatting:

Table 1. Affected Vehicle Build Dates
Market Affected Vehicles
CAL, CAN, DOM Vehicles built before 9/08/2005
AUS, ENG, JPN Vehicles built before 10/10/2005
EUR Vehicles built before 11/28/2005
