THERE IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH APRILIA SCOOTERS, SPECIFICALLY, THEIR SCARABEO MODEL, WHEREIN CLAMPS ON THE FUEL PUMP (LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK) ARE MISSING. THIS HAS CAUSED ON MY SCOOTER TWO EFFECTS, MAINLY. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS OCCASIONAL STALLING WHILE IDLING. THE CONCERN HERE (ALTHOUGH IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET) IS THAT MY SCOOTER WILL STALL AT A VERY INOPPORTUNE MOMENT, SUCH AS WHILE TRYING TO COMPLETE A LEFT TURN, AND STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING LANES. THE SECOND ISSUE IS ROUGH RUNNING FROM IDLE THROUGH ACCELERATION UP TO ABOUT 30 MPH. *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.
