Have you checked with the dealer to see what is up with the status? I would imagine it would have to go through one of them to get it done.
If not mistaken this is only for the Ridgeback due to possible cracking along the spokes.

Yeah, they said they have not recieved one for a customer that ordered his a couple of months before me.
They are going to contact BDM.

Just found out about the recall recently. Called the dealer to set it up. I was amazed. I was told, "I dont know if BDM is even replacing these wheels anymore, but I'll put in a order for you. Some have been waiting for 6 months." I hope they are taking care of this. Might be a little cheaper than lawsuits from people crashing with bad wheels. Maybe the guy was just having a bad day. I just cant see a major company saying Yeah this may cause a crash so good luck. Since I was late on the band wagon, I guess I will get my wheel in December.

I got lucky. I called the dealer and he said he happened to have one that he ordered for a guy that he could not get hold of. Been trying for a couple months. Took less than a week to get mine replaced. With the long wait lists, I would think it may be common that the shop cannot contact the customer after several months of waiting. Might be worth calling around to several dealers.

Should just give me the dollars they will have in the new wheel and I will buy my own set....of course they probably are getting the wheel dirt cheap.
BDM Backlog
Dont remember if I have introduced myself before to follow protocol, I know I have sent email to people on the forum. I am a service writer for a BDM dealership and have 6 wheels for customers on backorder. BDM has assured us that everyone will receive wheels but it is going to take some time. As I understand it, there were close to 1500 bikes affected by this issue. Each of these wheels must be manufactured as they are not in warehouse status, hang in there, if you are very concerned take your bike to a BDM dealer have them inspect your wheel, if there are any apparent defects or cracks< BDM can expedite a wheel, if it is available.
