AN IN-TANK FUEL LINE BETWEEN THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER IS MISSING HOSE CLAMPS CAUSING FUEL PRESSURE LOSE AND ERRATIC ENGINE PERFORMANCE. STALLING AND SPUTTERING DURING MANEUVERS IN TRAFFIC CAN BE BEING VERY DANGEROUS ON A MOTORCYCLE OR ANY TWO WHEEL VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM EFFECTS 2004 THROUGH 2008 APRILIA SCARABEO 500IE AND EARLIER YEAR MODELS. THUS FAR DEALERS HAVE CORRECTED THIS UNDER WARRANTY ON A BY COMPLAINT BASES. MOST OF THESE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN THE FIRST 1000 MILES. AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
