I think that the auto industry could learn a few things from Kawasaki.
Kawasaki believes that there is nothing as sacred as their reputation for quality and in a move that surprised no one they announced that they are recalling all of the ZX-10R's.
Not only are all that are on dealer's floors being shipped back to the company but:
Those who have taken delivery of a unit will be instructed to return the unit to the dealership for a full refund and will be among the first to have the option of receiving a new unit once the technical hold has been lifted.
No pussyfooting around, no putting profits before lives but holding true to the integrity that this company has long been known for...I like that and while I may never own a Kawasaki motorcycle, (I have never found one that fit me right - and yes I have test ridden a few)
I can honestly say that most people I know who have a Kawasaki are pretty happy with their dealer and their bike.

It would have been nice to read exactly what was SO wrong that they are actually pulling bikes back from their customers.

I normally do not publish anonymous comments but this time I decided to because - KAWASAKI won't tell anyone why they have suspended all deliveries - they claim not performance based but...we are told it is a quality control issue.
ReplyDeleteAs we know more - so will you.
One of the first Bikes I owned was a blue Kawasaki 900 1971...it was a very fast bike which left me with many fond memories
