Tl* the contact owns a 2009 piaggio bv 250 scooter. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v066000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.
I've had a lot of problems with it. I did some research about the reketa that all new sports sells. My research was from the internet and the bbb. All of the problems seem to be consistent. Mostly electrical. The volts from the magnetic motor produces 17 volts to a 12 volt battery.
