According to the US Department of Transportation's 'National Highway Traffic Safety Administration' (NHTSA), the "Piaggio Group Americas Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain models... Due to a defective fuel pump, the affected motorcycles may stall while being operated or may fail to restart after being shut off for 15-20 minutes."

$ _" R3 _4 v5 GAccording to the recall notice, apparently the impeller in the pumps, supplied by Bitron S.p.a. may swell, decreasing pump clearance, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to restart. "the new components can be identified by a brown cap on the motor of the fuel pump, versus a black cap on the old component."4 T" l! r2 R7 `7 ~) n( C
! h' h& u6 K3 P+ c) lHow this will affect Piaggio and Vespa scooters in the UK and Europe we don't know yet – presumably they used the same fuel pumps on all models – but if you have any concerns about your own scooter, contact you local Vespa dealer and make an appointment to see them. If there is any recall or warranty work to be done by the Vespa to the dealer there should be no cost to you.0 I4 \5 I. j# s, J5 \: K
