MV Agusta is recalling 66 model year 2010 F4 motorcycles because the air filter frame may lift out of position, allowing debris to enter the engine and increase crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

MV Agusta Motor S.P.A. is recalling 66 model year 2010 F4 motorcycles manufactured between February 10 and April 19, 2010. The recall addresses a defect in the air filter frame, part number 8000B4061, which may lift out of its proper position. This failure allows intake air to bypass the filter.

If the air filter frame lifts out of position, debris may enter the throttle body assembly. This interference can prevent proper throttle operation, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities were reported in the source text.

Owners should contact MV Agusta at 1-414-342-4680 or their local dealer to have the motorcycles repaired free of charge. The safety recall began on June 28, 2010. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for additional information.
