Default Cracks In My Hubs!!!

my 2005 suzuki c50 has developed cracks in the front and rear hubs. this is not a cosmetic problem, these cracks are deep and severe.the cracks are all forming around the spoke holes and the radius of the brake drum and the front hub. and no i did not hit any major potholes or fly over any speedbumbs. the bike has less than 500 miles on her. it seems that suzuki has heard of the problem, but is doing nothing about it..{ no recalls issued as of yet}. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE OR GET MAIMED BERFORE DOING SO. because it won't be me. my bike will remained parked until the recall goes ahead or i can find some new..i.e. non spoked wheels that fit this shaft drive nightmare. so anyone with a volusia or c50 you better check your bike and get your dealer to notify headqaurters.BECUASE MY BIKE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE......
