2020 Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT Stop Sale


Kmrider

Recommended Posts

I spoke with Kawasaki customer service earlier this evening. They told me they had all of the parts necessary to take care of Stop Sale #1 (Fire Harzard). 

Stop Sale #2 (Steering Issue) is a bit more long winded. COVID-19 is definitely playing a role in slowing things down. However, they have found a manufacturer in Taiwan who is going to start supplying the parts needed for the fix although not in the numbers they had hoped for. The first shipment is supposed to arrive the first week of April with weekly shipments coming in after that.

Kawasaki is still trying to find a manufacturer here in the U.S. that can expedite the situation. 

It is anyone's guess which dealers will receive parts first.

I talked to the parts department at my dealer and they ordered my parts for the recall this last Thursday and said they should be there on Tuesdays. So parts are on there way in and I should be getting mine this next week.  
 

I am considering this to be bragging!

My dealer told me (yesterday) that parts were still not available and were at least 2 weeks out...  frustrating - don't know what to believe.

Unfortunately, my dealer just said (today) "several weeks". I agree with you wholeheartedly. I don't have any idea who to believe anymore.

My salesman told me they were not allowed to order them until the 27th and that was only for utvs that were already sold.   My dealer put me down as an owner and got them coming in.   Either way I should find out Wednesday  if everything is in and they are repairing it.   If we are allowed to leave our houses.  Hahaha.

Does this mean those of us that made a stop sale deposit a few months back are now bottom feeders for parts availability?

I did the same thing.   I guess it just depends what your dealer does and how your dealer considers you.   I would say if you put a deposite down on the unit then you are technically an owner. And that's how my dealer considered me.  That's not to say yours will do the same.

Got a call from Kawasaki Customer Service

this evening...she told me that:

1) both the corrections had been approved (already knew that from this forum)

2) they have parts sourced for the engine fire problem (knew that also)

3) they would know more about the parts for the steering column hopefully by the end of the month (contradicts what other members on here are being told).

I guess we should rejoice in the small victories but it appears that my local dealership will be closed for a while due to the Coronavirus...unless they start selling the essentials - groceries, drugs or alcohol.

Update on the status of our 2020 Mule purchase.  We had to undp our loan.  The credit union couldn't support a loan on a unit that was no in our possession and not insured by us.  Our dealer  called us last week. and said that the parts were approved by the FCPA  and the they should be coming in soon.- next 2-3 weeks. So if all things go as expected we should have our mule by the first part of April.  we, of course will have to redo the loan.

Just from an engineering / manufacturing point of view (I'm electrical, so grain of salt here) the cover should be a stamped piece, or maybe even molded - same difference, you make one and then you make 10000. the steering shaft, now that has to be cut, maybe turned, maybe threaded, Someone has to touch each one - that's the part that's going to be as rare as TP (sorry) - Since i got ya, I have put every incentive dollar into dressing my pro-fx out; adventure package and curtis plow. I am coming unglued waiting for it.

      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.

      I purchased a new 2023 Landmaster UTV L4 in October of 2023.  UTV didn't seem to have as much power of the demo L4 that I drove but figured once it broke in it would be better.  After about a week the unit started bogging down backfiring and stopping.  Gas fumes really bad, wait a few minutes and it would start up again.  Brought it back to the dealer and after keeping it for a few weeks said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Got it back home and it started acting up again, brought it back to dealer a week later and he said he found couple things that might cause it to do run bad and he was able to replicate the issue but didn't really know what was wrong.  Got it back home again after being at dealer for several weeks and the unit started running bad again right away.  Brought it back to dealer and he went back and forth with Kohler about possible fixes but just checked somethings and try to swap a few parts but still runs bad.  I called Landmaster HQ to speak with someone about a refund and was told that was handled at the dealer level.  Dealer called Landmaster and they told him they didn't do refunds or exchanges especially with units that had problems.  The dealer is now trying to get a new engine to but I have not heard anything as of yet.  I did file complaint with Better Business Bureau and they accepted my claim and reached out to Landmaster.  The National Service Manager called me and said the he had been contacted by the BBB about the complaint and he would look into it.  I told him that I would just like to have my down payment of $2,000.00 returned and never mind the over $1,000.00 I have paid in notes for a UTV that I cannot even ride on without hoping it gets me around the neighborhood.  I have found out that the 2024 Landmaster UTVs will have Vanguard engines due to issues with the Kohler engines.  Very disappointed in what is "Proudly Made in the USA" and the way Landmaster has treated this disabled veteran!
