Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer and Bobber bikes have been recalled over an ABS issue that was identified more than six months ago, but there is nothing “sinister” about the apparent delay.

Technicians found the front ABS brake hose may rub against the engine’s secondary air system connection, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak.

When the issue was first identified in June 2017, affected models included the V7-III Racer, Stone and Special motorcycles and 97 V9 Bobber and Roamer models.

Australian importer PS Imports ordered new pipe mount brackets to fix the issue and most were fixed before the bikes were sold to the public.

The V7 III was officially recalled earlier this month. Click here for more details and the VIN list of affected bikes.

However, PSI technical manager John Hansen says a subsequent data update uncovered additional affected V9 bikes.

He says repairs of the affected V7 models are 83% complete and V9 is about 46% complete.

There are about 50 bikes still to do for both these recalls. Some that dealers will do immediately in the case of unsold bikes and others where customers will be contacted directly by their dealer or provided with a reminder notice by us,” he says.

It has nothing to do with the current run of Brembo brake recalls affecting, Aprilia, KTM and Ducati.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS ON RECALLS

Recall notices are issued by the manufacturer through a voluntary industry code under the ACCC.

Despite hundreds of recalls by various automotive manufacturers, none has ever been mandatory.  All have been issued by the manufacturer.

While any recall is not good news for the manufacturer, it shows that they are largely diligent in fixing problems.

If you believe there is an endemic problem with your bike that should be recalled, contact the ACCC on 1300 302 502.
