kind of scary to think that a lot of newer motorcycles use fly-by-wire :-O


I still don’t believe it needs to be on the news every other day though. The recall has been made, owners know about it, from the news, word of mouth, letters from Toyota, etc. Each of these stated that the cars should NOT be driven unless going to the dealership to have them repaired. Those who ignored this information and continued to drive the car have no reason to make a big deal out of it, it’s their fault. We don’t flood the news with people dying from lung cancer each day as a result of ignoring the surgeon general’s warning… so stop flooding the news with people who ignore safety recalls..... again... just my .02
According to the news report the guy in California did take it to the dealer and was turned away because they said it was not part of the gas pedal recall.
