I question whether this situation is as simple as some think. Tandem bicycles is our main thing and one of the best recumbent-tandem manufacturers no longer exists because of the injury-litigation resulting from a few failed bike frames. It's possible (likely?) that a Trailmanor with one of these faulty swing-frames will get loose on the highway and make a few lawyers wealthy.

Also, I'm not inclined to praise Trailmanor for giving lip-service to a faulty product that can kill people. I'm more inclined to fault them for selling them. IMO they should be doing something about all of them and not just those yet to be built. Remember Ford/Firestone, many of those were out of warranty as well. All the evidence a lawyer will need to prove their case when the time comes is on these pages. The ball is in Trailmanor's court and I hope they will do the right thing. Possibly a little more than just my $0.02.
