NHTSA recall 03V486000
Power Train · Moto Guzzi North America
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the gearbox shift sleeves for engagement of 3rd to 6th gears can fracture unexpectedly while the motorcycle is in use.
Why it matters: Should such a fracture occur, the motorcycle's rear wheel can suddenly stop turning or "lock," resulting in a loss of control of the motorcycle, which could result in a crash, personal injury, or death.
The fix: Dealers will install new, improved shift rings and a redesigned cush-drive assembly. Owner notification began December 14, 2003. Owners should contact moto guzzi at 1-877-aprilia (1-877-277-4542).
