Owner report 11549217 · 2023-10-10 (October 10, 2023)
The motorcycle was started and was idling in neutral, on the side stand. The rpm suddenly increased to red line with no rider input. Not on the motorcycle at the time. This motorcycle has semi ride by wire throttle system. Two cables go from the accelerator grip to an electronics box. This would obviously be a serious safety condition if it occurs while being operated.

Reported: 2019-07-26 (July 26, 2019)
Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Moto Guzzi Audace 1400 and Eldorado 1400, 2017-2018 Moto Guzzi California 1400, 2017 Moto Guzzi MGX 21 Bagger, 2013-2014 Aprilia Mana 850, 2014-2016 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750, 2018-2019 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900, and 2018 Aprilia Shiver 900 motorcycles. Due to a problem with the front brake master cylinder, the front brakes may drag or apply, causing the motorcycle to unexpectedly slow down or stop completely without activating the rear brake light.
Consequence: Unexpectedly slowing down or stopping while driving with no warning to following traffic can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the front brake master cylinder free of charge. The recall began August 16, 2019. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PA2ZZQ1904.
