UPDATE: 2010 Aprilia RSV4 Recall (US)

Manufacturer: Piaggio USA, Inc. Date: Jan 25, 2010
NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 10V029000
Component: Engine and engine cooling
Potential Number of Units Affected: 335

Summary: Piaggio is recalling certain model year 2010 Aprilia RSV4 "Factory" and RSV4R motorcycles manufactured between July 2, 2009, and October 30, 2009. In manufacturing the connecting rods, a process was used to straighten the rod in order to meet specifications. This process introduced stresses into the rods which greatly affected strength and reliability.

Consequences: Connecting rods in the affected vehicles could fail and cause engine failure that could lead to a loss of vehicle control, resulting in a crash, personal injury, or death.

Remedy: Piaggio will notify owners and replace the engines free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about February 28, 2010. Owners may contact Piaggio at 1-212-380-4431.

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to Safercar.gov .
