2024 Honda ADV160Engine & cooling

This recall happened in March. Honda did not notify me until May. As of today, 7/14, they are saying it will be August before they can fix the scooter. In the meantime, I can't ride it for safety reasons, so it is useless to me. Paying insurance and storing it but not able to use it. Even had a buyer and the sale did not go through due to the recall. Honda is not fixing it in a reasonable time frame (60 days), and yet I know that they replaced the part on scooters sitting on dealers' showroom floors. Their response it totally unacceptable since I cannot use the vehicle. Manufacturer Recall NumberKR9 NHTSA Recall Number25V195 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete

I'm filing a complaint regarding a serious safety recall on my 2025 Honda ADV160 (Recall #25V195), which involves a defective oil pump driven gear. This recall can lead to engine seizure and cause the rear wheel to lock, risking crash or injury. I've called multiple dealerships to get this resolved, but I've been told either the recall doesn't exist or that I need to "wait for a letter in the mail" and that no parts are available. In the meantime, I'm forced to continue riding this vehicle, which is my daily...

transportation. This is unacceptable for a known safety issue. I'm concerned about the lack of urgency from Honda, the risk of being injured, and the fact that I am unable to safely operate a brand-new motorcycle I just purchased. I want this issue escalated please, and I'm seeking a solution as soon as possible. I am also considering filing under California lemon law if this continues to go unresolved.
