Summary

Piaggo Group Americas, Inc. (Piaggo) is recalling certain 2023 Moto GuzzieBay V100 Mandello and Mandello Aviazione Navale motorcycles. The rear shock absorber may be missing one or both bushings, which can cause it to break.

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 GuzzieBay USA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in a specific range of Moto GuzzieBay Motorcycles as noted below.

  • Select 2023 V100 Mandello (Mandello S excluded)
  • Select 2023 V100 Mandello Aviazione Navale

 

In the affected range, Moto GuzzieBay 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 GuzzieBay USA will conduct a recall of the aforementioned models within the affected VIN range. Moto GuzzieBay 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 GuzzieBay 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 GuzzieBay 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.piaggioeBay.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 โ€œInspection 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 GuzzieBay USA will describe the details of the concern, the cause, and the correction addressed by this recall. In addition, Moto GuzzieBay USA asks that each owner contact their respective Moto GuzzieBay dealer to arrange for an appointment to have the parts and labor required of this recall completed.
