2000–2001 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ 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.
💥 The risk
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).
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.)
