What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Genuine Scooters, LLC (Genuine) is recalling certain model year 2014 Stella 125 Automatic scooters manufactured December 2013 to March 2014. The affected scooters may have a faulty engine control unit (ECU) which can cause the engine to stall without warning.

The risk

If the engine stalls while the scooter is being ridden there is an increased risk of a crash.

The remedy

Genuine will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU with a new one, free of charge. The recall began on August 29, 2014. Owners may contact Genuine customer service 1-773-433-1311.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A 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.
