The problem
On certain motorcycles, a fuel pump hose may swell and change dimensions, thereby loosening its fit around the fitting at the fuel pump. The fuel pressure could drop.
The risk
This could cause erratic motor operation, difficulty in starting the vehicle or stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace all fuel pump assemblies. The recall began on september 10, 2007. Owners may contact piaggio/moto guzzi at 1-212-380-4400.
