Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
THIS VEHICLE HAD A FAILED STATOR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE STATOR IS THE CHARGING SYSTEM. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AS APRILIA HAS ISSUED AN UPDATED PART #. JUST ONE DEALER IN THE US HAS SOLD 185 OF THE REPLACEMENT NEW PART # STATORS. THIS EFFECTS ALL 2011-2015 TUONO V4 IN THE US WHICH THERE IS APPROX. 1000 UNITS IN THE FIELD.
THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE STATOR (CHARGING) ASSEMBLY FOR THE APRILIA TUONO V4. IN MY EXPERIENCE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY CHARGING SYSTEM, AT MY COST, BECAUSE THE STATOR BURNED ITSELF UP, PREVENTING THE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY. IN READING A FORUM FOR THIS BIKE, IT IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND HAS CAUSED MANY TO BE STRANDED. MY STATOR BURNED ITSELF UP WITH MY ODOMETER SHOWING 8,113 MILES. APRILIA HAS PRODUCED A NEW, UPDATED STATOR AND ROTOR ASSEMBLY, BUT REFUSES TO RECALL THE MOTORCYCLE TO CHANGE THIS $350 ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY MOTORCYCLE AND THE VOLTAGE WAS LESS THAN REQUIRED FROM THE BATTERY. MANY OWNERS BELIEVE THE BATTERY IS THE INITIAL CULPRIT AND REPLACE IT ERRANTLY.
THE STATOR QUITE CHARGING AND VOLTAGE DROPPED TO BELOW 10.2V ON 6/28/2015 11,236 MILES STALLED ON HIGHWAY. DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT ON 5/24/2016 @15,500 MILES STATOR HAS FAILED AGAIN.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
