Would they be liable for injuries sustained prior to the recall?

Some of the stock cranks have been faulty as well as water pump shafts and I believe something with the shift fork bearing.

That was a full blown mod bike that I guarantee didn't have a stock crank.

I posted this about a month ago, consensus was there's a bad batch of counterbalance gear that break apart, but only affect like 120-130 total units.
