Maryland Motorcycle Recall Attorneys
Recalled and Defective Motorcycles
When a manufacturer issues a recall for defective bikes or defective bike parts, often customers do not get the information in time to avoid tragedy. Poorly designed, manufactured, or maintained parts can cause terrible consequences. But to identify liable parties, claimants must often do significant investigative work.
Motorcycles/motorcycle parts can be recalled for different reasons. Tires may not inflate to the proper PSI. Brakes may fail under stress. Maneuverability and steering options may freeze up under certain weather conditions. Balance problems, transmission issues, ignition issues, and even problems relating to a bike’s visibility on the road can all lead to serious product related injuries.
Claimants in product defect cases can file three general types of claims. The first type of claim relates to motorcycle design flaws. For instance, let’s say a motorcycle company’s engineers developed a new braking system but failed to properly beta test it. As a result, all bike models with that braking system wind up defective.
The second class of product defect case relates to defects with the manufacturing process. For instance, let’s say that an assembly plant fails to build brakes according to spec. As a result, all bikes that come off that line end up defective.
Finally, you can sue for what's known as a “failure to warn.” Basically, this occurs when a responsible entity fails to include a warning sticker or adequate instructions.
