I have taken this bike to the dealer as the wheel is defective. They even mentioned that this is a known issue and i fear for my safety. I have inquired with several other owners of similar vehicles and they stated this is a known issue from Vespa. I inquired with the manufacturer as well and they state the bike is out of warranty and they will not do anything, even though they know it is a faulty part. I feel as though something should be done about this with the knowledge they produced a motor vehicle with defective parts.

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.
