Potential Number of Units Affected 260
Summary
Piaggo Group Americas, Inc. (Piaggo) is recalling certain 2023 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello and Mandello Aviazione Navale motorcycles. The rear shock absorber may be missing one or both bushings, which can cause it to break.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear shock absorber, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 22, 2023. Owners may contact Piaggio’s customer service at 1-212-380-4433.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. The NHTSA identification number of this recall is 23V-572.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
Moto Guzzi USA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in a specific range of Moto Guzzi
Motorcycles as noted below.
- Select 2023 V100 Mandello (Mandello S excluded)
- Select 2023 V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale
In the affected range, Moto Guzzi USA has identified the possibility of a non-conformity in the mounting of the rear shock absorber. Specifically, metal bushings may be absent at the shock mounting points, which causes an increase in friction at these locations. This additional friction may create an abnormal load to the shock and result in breakage of the shock from its mount. Breakage of the rear shock can lead to a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash and injury. According to vehicle registration records, you are the owner of a vehicle that falls within this affected VIN range.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To address this situation, Moto Guzzi USA will conduct a recall of the aforementioned models within the affected VIN range. Moto Guzzi
USA, through the qualified dealer network, will perform an inspection of the rear shock absorber to verify if all bushings are present. If ANY bushing is found to be missing, the entire shock absorber will be replaced along with the necessary hardware. This repair campaign will eliminate any potential safety risk.
The work required by this recall may be completed by your qualified Moto Guzzi dealer at no charge to you for the required parts and labor. The work time required to perform the inspection is approximately 10 minutes. If a defect is found, a new rear shock will be claimed/ordered and the time needed to replace the rear shock is 20 minutes.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
With receipt of this letter, please contact your authorized Moto Guzzi dealership as soon as possible to schedule an appointment to have the recall completed. Instructions for this recall have been sent to your dealer. Your dealer is best equipped to provide a service to ensure that your vehicle is corrected as promptly as possible. Please ensure that these instructions are followed by anyone that uses your vehicle.
If you take your vehicle to your dealer on the agreed service date and they do not remedy this condition on that date or within three (3) days, we recommend you contact our Customer Care helpline at: 212-380-4400.
After contacting your dealer and the above number, if you are still not able to have the safety defect remedied without charge and within a reasonable time, you may wish to write to: The Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Our Customer Care helpline (212-380-4400) is available to provide you with further information and any support you may need. Should the vehicle not be in your possession or available to you, please provide the name and address of the purchaser by contacting our Customer Care department by phone or by filling out the form on the following page and emailing to customercare@us.piaggio.com.
If you previously had the work required of this recall completed at your own expense, please refer to the attached letter (Tread Act Customer Reimbursement Plan) describing the criteria and procedure to request reimbursement.
Federal law requires any lessor who receives a notification of a determination of a safety-related defect or noncompliance pertaining to any leased motor vehicle shall send the notice to the lessee within 10 days.
We are sorry to cause this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your safety and continued satisfaction with our products. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
As part of the continuous and stringent quality control activities of the components installed on our vehicles, the continuous search for new and better technical solutions and the attention to customers, we hereby inform you of the need to carry out an inspection of the rear shock absorber, in order to identify any non-conformity which could lead to its potential breakage, as described in the “operating procedure” section of this communication.
Concern: The rear shock absorber may have been installed with one or more metal bushings missing from the assembly. Bushings missing from the mounting points may increase the friction in this area. This increase in friction creates an abnormal load on the body of the shock which may lead to breakage and detachment of the shock from its mounting point. Note: Mandello S versions are excluded since the rear shocks fitted to these models are not subject to this problem.
Correction: The rear shock absorber will be inspected using both a functional and visual check. Any shock that is missing one or more of the four metal bushings will have the entire shock absorber replaced along with the required hardware. Shocks that pass the inspections do not need to be replaced and will be claimed for โInspection onlyโ and do not require any parts.
Owner Notification: Each owner of a vehicle included in this recall will be notified by first class mail. In this letter Moto Guzzi USA will describe the details of the concern, the cause, and the correction addressed by this recall. In addition, Moto Guzzi
USA asks that each owner contact their respective Moto Guzzi
dealer to arrange for an appointment to have the parts and labor required of this recall completed.

These ensure the correct operation of the rear shock absorber. Lower connection Upper connection LEFT RIGHT RIGHT LEFT Page 5 of 12 The correct installation must be verified by carrying out two checks, one functional and one visual: Functional check: Act on the shock absorber spring by rotating it right/left and check that it has free play and movement in both directions; the shock absorber must be able to rotate and rock freely back and forth with little force. We have uploaded an explanatory video of the above to VideoBox (link “verifica ammortizzatore posteriore V100”). If the shock absorber is blocked/rigid (has no rotational free play), enter Coupon 2 to replace the complete shock absorber. This indicates that an inner bushing/ right side bushing is missing (either at the top or bottom of the shock), which prevents rotational free play. Lower connection Visual check: if the functional check does not indicate a problem, carry out a visual check from the outer left side (facing forward) to check that the lower left bushing is present (see photo below). You should see a bright metallic bushing up against the head of the bolt. Page 6 of 12 If the lower left bushing is missing, enter 2nd coupon to replace the complete shock absorber. Upper connection visual check : if the functional check does not indicate a problem , measure the recess of the upper screw head in relation to the frame on the external left side to certify the presence of the upper left bushing (see photos below). OK – 1 mm recess NOT OK – 5 mm recess If the upper left bushing is missing, enter 2nd Coupon to replace the complete shock absorber. If the shock passes all three checks above, enter Coupon 1 for checking only. Please note: All replaced shock absorbers will be required to be sent back for analysis. Requests for the return to Italy will appear with a โTruck Iconโ on the PWM home page. Please contact your Technical support representative for any queries or assistance. Page 7 of 12 Installation instructions: Please refer to the Workshop manual for removal instructions. If the vehicle requires replacement of the rear shock absorber and the second coupon is claimed, the shock will be sent with the hardware required for installation. This will include the upper and lower mounting screws, two self-locking nuts, and two T- bushings for the swingarm. The T- bushings are shown in turquoise below and fit into the opening of the swingarm ( left and right). When installing the new shock be very careful that the two upper and two lower metal bushings do not fall out of the shock eyelets during installation. The new shock will come with the metal bushings twist tied to the eyelets of each mounting hole (see image below) Please perform the functional and visual checks as noted in this bulletin after installation to ensure the integrity of the newly installed shock. โข 2B008297 – Rear shock absorber – Quantity 1 โข 2B009896 – TCEI M10X45 upper screw – Quantity 1 ( Tighten to 50NM or 37 lb ft) โข AP8152301 – Flanged self-locking nut โ Quantity 2 โข AP8152411 – TCEI M10x59 lower screw – Quantity 1 (Tighten to 50NM or 37 lb ft) โข 2B009693 – T-bushing โ Quantity 2 (fit into swingarm opening) Page 8 of 12 Best regards, Moto Guzzi USA Piaggio Group Americas Technical Services Page 9 of 12 Copy of Customer letter Dear Valued Customer: IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL Regarding your: 2023 V100 Mandello or V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale THIS NOTICE APPLIES TO YOUR VEHICLE VIN:__________________________________ This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
