Fuel system, other:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: Piaggio is recalling 2,428 my 2006-2008 bv 500 and my 2005-2007 x9 500 scooters. The fuel hose connecting the fuel filter to the fuel pump may come loose. If this fuel hose connection is loose, or has become completely disconnected, then there will be a drop in, or loss of, fuel pressure to the engine.
Risk: Loss of fuel pressure and engine stalling will increase the risk of a crash. A fuel leak can also result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the length of fuel hose connecting the fuel pump to the fuel filter free of charge. The recall began on july 3, 2009. Owners may contact piaggio at 1-212-380-4400.
