2000–2001 Moto Guzzi California recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the throttle linkage CAN fail to return to a completely closed position.
💥 The risk
Should this failure occur, the motorcycle could fail to decelerate when the rider wants it to, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the throttle return cable. Owner notification is expected to begin during october 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact moto guzzi at 1-678-238-0902.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
