Issued by Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. · Reported Jul 24, 2013 · 680 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Piaggio Group Americas (Piaggio) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Moto Guzzi Stelvio NTX 1200 motorcycles manufactured February 6, 2012, through April 10, 2013; and model year 2012-2013 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 motorcycles manufactured January 25, 2012, through March 21, 2013; and model year 2012-2013 Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 motorcycles manufactured January 26, 2012, through April 29, 2013. Due to a manufacturing fault, the rear suspension connecting links could fracture.

Consequence

If the rear suspension links fail while riding, the rear suspension would suddenly collapse, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Piaggio will notify owners, and Moto Guzzi dealers will replace the rear suspension connecting links on the affected vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on August 12, 2013. Owners may contact Piaggio at 1-877-696-6864.
