Just spoke with my dealer and sea doo. Dealer said it not their fault they did not have the parts in stock when i was sold. Sea Doo said not there problem I have to drive 80 miles.
If the recall came out before you took delivery of your Sea doo then they should have never released it to you! That is the dealers fault, when there is a safety recall involving a unit there is a suppose to be a stop sale order in place, they are not suppose to sell or deliver units involved in the safety recall until they are repaired.
I understand your point about having to drive at your expense to get it repaired but how does a company deal with it? I can see this as opening a can of worms, I live 15 mins from my dealer but since I need to bring it in I tell them I keep my machine somewhere that is a 2 hr drive away, that added cost to the company will make them less profitable and they will look to recoup those costs, how do you think they will recoup those costs? well one way that comes to mind pretty quick is raise the price of the machines they sell! Sorry, I am not trying to rub salt in your wounds!
similar situation, I had a co-worker that complained about being on call and having to drive in to work to handle the call and thought that since he had to drive a half hour further than another co-worker that he should get more money for the call all my boss said was move closer so you don't have to drive as far! I had to laugh to myself because as much as my co-worker wouldn't have liked to hear that it is true, my boss can't control where people live they make a choice of where they want to live! Our calls are paid from the shop to the site and back to the shop, they don't get paid travel time from their home to work.
