Problem: On certain motorcycles, the graphite exhaust bushing, which seals the connection between the exhaust pipe and the muffler, must be replaced each time the muffler is removed and reinstalled. if the exhaust bushing is not replaced, exhaust gases may be permitted to leak past the bushing.
Risk: The rear brake hose may be impaired or melted, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the header, pipe, clamp and gasket, thereby eliminating the potential issue. the recall began on august 31, 2007. owners may contact vespa/piaggio at 1-212-380-4400.
