2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, under extended running speeds near the engine's revolution limit, the engine's connecting rod bolts CAN fail.
💥 The risk
Should such a failure occur, the motorcycle's engine CAN suddenly stop turning or "lock," requiring the operator to disengage the clutch in order to maintain control of the motorcycle. If the clutch is not disengaged, the operator CAN lose of control of the motorcycle, which could result in a crash, personal injury, or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install new, redesigned connecting rods and bolts. 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.)
