EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Multistrada 1200 in 3 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The rear suspension of the motorcycle may break under heavy loading leading to loss of control of the vehicle and the possibility of an accident.
A potential defect in the fuel tank could lead to fuel leakage at the fuel level sensor retaining ring nut, with a risk of fire if the leaking fuel comes into contact with a hot surface.
The internal sleeve of the sheath around the throttle cable may become completely unseated and jam in the fuel throttle, which may cause the throttle to block.
