Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Nov 26, 2003
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Filed Jun 26, 2005

I BOUGHT A USED 2000 MOTO GUZZI 1100 ES QUOTA MOTORCYCLE ON 05/23/05. I DISCOVERED THE REAR EXCEL "TAKASAGO" ALUMINUM ALLOY RIM HAD FIVE CRACKS NEAR WERE THE SPOKES SCREW INTO THE RIM. I CHECKED YOUR WEB SITE FOR A RECALL AND FOUND NONE. I CALLED MOTO GUZZI COSTUMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER RIM. THEY DID THAT BUT IT WAS REPLACED WITH A AKRONT RIM WHICH DOESN'T MATCH THE FRONT WHICH IS STILL AN EXCEL. THE AKRONT COMPANY IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND I CAN'T FIND AN AKRONT RIM TO REPLACE IT. MOTO GUZZI SAYS THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT RIM AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT. I AM NOW LEFT WITH THE PROPLEM WITH REPLACING BOTH RIMS BECAUSE THEY DON'T MATCH AND I DON'T TRUST THE FRONT RIM NOT TO CRACK.
