Not sure who you would go to ..... maybe talk to LTSA and they can advise on the procedure to alert a vehicle defect in NZ here, but consumers institute surely would know.
I recon print off the overseas info you found and talk to the NZ distributor of the bike, show then pics of your frame and failure and the comparable overseas recall photos to show its their failure not rough treatment, even a roughly ridden bike should handle the frame stresses.
Suggest to them you are planning to take it to Consumers,the LTSA and media and I'm sure they will do all they can to "keep you quiet" might get a new bike out of it, to repair yours would require re-certification and all the bullshit that goes with it
