I BOUGHT A USED 2000 MOTO GUZZI 1100 ES QUOTA MOTORCYCLE ON 05/23/05. I DISCOVERED THE REAR EXCEL "TAKASAGO" ALUMINUM ALLOY RIM HAD FIVE CRACKS NEAR WERE THE SPOKES SCREW INTO THE RIM. I CHECKED YOUR WEB SITE FOR A RECALL AND FOUND NONE. I CALLED MOTO GUZZI COSTUMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER RIM. THEY DID THAT BUT IT WAS REPLACED WITH A AKRONT RIM WHICH DOESN'T MATCH THE FRONT WHICH IS STILL AN EXCEL. THE AKRONT COMPANY IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND I CAN'T FIND AN AKRONT RIM TO REPLACE IT. MOTO GUZZI SAYS THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT RIM AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT. I AM NOW LEFT WITH THE PROPLEM WITH REPLACING BOTH RIMS BECAUSE THEY DON'T MATCH AND I DON'T TRUST THE FRONT RIM NOT TO CRACK.

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
