2008 Piaggio MP3 250 RL recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor scooters, the head of the engine attachment bolt (p/n 597080) may break.
💥 The risk
If the bolt were to break, the engine could become loose and detach itself from the vehicle frame, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
The engine attachment bolts (vd 10.9) will be replaced. All vehicles are still in transit to the united states. None of these vehicles have been distributed to dealers or sold to customers.
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.)
