The short answer

NHTSA received PIAGGIO USA, INC.’s report on Jun 2, 2009. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 27, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE AND ENGINE STALLING WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. A FUEL LEAK CAN ALSO RESULT IN A FIRE.

PIAGGIO IS RECALLING 2,428 MY 2006-2008 BV 500 AND MY 2005-2007 X9 500 SCOOTERS.

THE FUEL HOSE CONNECTING THE FUEL FILTER TO THE FUEL PUMP MAY COME LOOSE.

IF THIS FUEL HOSE CONNECTION IS LOOSE, OR HAS BECOME COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED, THEN THERE WILL BE A DROP IN, OR LOSS OF, FUEL PRESSURE TO THE ENGINE.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
