NHTSA Complaint #10572577 — 2010 VESPA GTS 300

VESPA SHUTS DOWN OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY - TWICE WITHIN 2 MONTHS, ONE TIME IN THE FAST LANE, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF SINCE I HAD TO WAIT (AT 9:30 PM AT THE MEDIAN ON A HIGH TRAFFIC FREEWAY) FOR THE AAA TO HAUL ME TO THE SHOP. THANKS TO CHP OFFICERS WHO PROVIDED SUPPORT AND LIGHT DURING MY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE. READING THE ARTICLES ABOUT GM ENGINE SHUTDOWNS MAKES ME FILE MY INCIDENT AND WONDERING, WHETHER THERE ARE RECALLS FOR VESPAS, TOO? HAVING YOUR MOTORCYCLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS AT NIGHT ON THE FREEWAY IS REALLY SCARY AND UNSAFE! MY MECHANICS DIAGNOSED "PURGE VALVE STUCK OPEN NOT LETTING TANK VENT" AND "FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ISSUES". THEY COULD NOT RECALL THE INCIDENT DURING THEIR TEST RIDES AFTER FIXING THE ABOVE MENTIONED, BUT SAID THERE MIGHT BE THE CHANCE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HOW UNSAFE DO I FEEL NOW? I DO NOT WANT TO THINK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE LANE, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND I AM NOT ABLE TO "ROLL" OFF TO THE SIDE - I GET RUN OVER BY CARS, AND THAT'S IT I GUESS... HOW SHOULD I RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE? DO I CONTACT VESPA USA? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE! *TR
