Models: V85 TT
Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2020 Moto Guzzi V 85 TT motorcycles. The footrest mounting pin retaining clip may break, allowing the pin to disconnect and the footrest to fall off the motorcycle.
Risk: A footrest that falls off while the motorcycle is in motion may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the retaining rings on all four footrests. If any of the clips are found to be defective, the dealer will replace the retaining clips on all four footrest pins, free of charge. The recall began December 26, 2019. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PGJZZQ1905.
Models: V85 TT
Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2020 Moto Guzzi V 85 TT motorcycles. The final drive output seal may leak oil onto the rear tire.
Risk: An oil leak onto the rear tire may cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the final drive transmission box for an oil leak, and install an extra seal. If an oil leak is found, both seals and the gasket will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began December 26, 2019. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PGJZZQ1904.

Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Moto Guzzi Audace 1400 and Eldorado 1400, 2017-2018 Moto Guzzi California 1400, 2017 Moto Guzzi MGX 21 Bagger, 2013-2014 Aprilia Mana 850, 2014-2016 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750, 2018-2019 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900, and 2018 Aprilia Shiver 900 motorcycles. Due to a problem with the front brake master cylinder, the front brakes may drag or apply, causing the motorcycle to unexpectedly slow down or stop completely without activating the rear brake light.
Risk: Unexpectedly slowing down or stopping while driving with no warning to following traffic can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the front brake master cylinder free of charge. The recall began August 16, 2019. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PA2ZZQ1904.
Before the next long ride
A recall is a dealer job, but the pre-trip check around it is yours. Moto Guzzi bikes still need the same roll of tools once you are out of range of one.
Moto Guzzi recall FAQ
- How do I check whether my Moto Guzzi has an open recall?
- Enter the 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or the Transport Canada recalls database if you are in Canada. The VIN check is the only answer that is specific to your bike: this page lists campaigns for the brand, but whether yours is inside a campaign's build range and whether the work has already been done are both VIN-level facts.
- Does a Moto Guzzi recall cost anything to fix?
- No. A safety recall is repaired free of charge by an authorised dealer, however old the bike is and however many owners it has had. If you already paid for the same repair before the recall was announced, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement.
- How many recalls does a Moto Guzzi have?
- 3 motorcycle and scooter campaigns are on file with NHTSA for model years 2015–2027, the most recent reported on 3 December 2019. A campaign covers a build range rather than a single bike, so the count says more about how many models the brand sells in the US than about build quality.
- Can I ride a Moto Guzzi with an open recall?
- It depends on the campaign. NHTSA flags the serious ones as "do not drive" or "park outside", and those are marked on this page — for anything flagged, stop riding and call a dealer. For the rest, book the work at the next service, and get it done before a long or remote trip rather than after it.
- What gets recalled most on a Moto Guzzi?
- Equipment accounts for the largest share — 1 of the 3 campaigns on this page. That is a useful pre-trip inspection hint, not a verdict: check that area yourself before a long ride even if your VIN is clear.
