Motorcyclist and Mechanic Share Evidence of Critical Engine Failure, Highlighting Widespread Issues with MV Agusta’s Product Quality and Customer Service

A longtime MV Agusta owner is publicly raising concerns about severe engine failure and a lack of response from MV Agusta USA after his newly purchased 2018 MV Agusta F3 800 RC motorcycle experienced a “valve drop” malfunction, leading to extensive engine damage. Despite an initial promise of a goodwill repair, the company ceased communication, leaving the owner without support. Detailed documentation of the damage and images were shared in a blog post, revealing similar failures reported among other MV Agusta models. The owner is now urging the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to investigate this widespread and potentially hazardous issue.

ATLANTA, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A motorcyclist and long-time MV Agusta owner is coming forward to share his troubling experience with MV Agusta USA, highlighting what he describes as critical product failures and unresponsiveness from the company’s customer service team. After purchasing an MV Agusta F3 800 RC second-generation motorcycle in April 2024, he experienced a significant engine failure only one month later, sparking a months-long struggle to obtain support from MV Agusta USA, which eventually ceased communication. This incident raises concerns not only about product quality but also about safety, as similar mechanical failures have been reported among other MV Agusta owners.

“This is a serious design flaw that could put lives at risk. The lack of response from MV Agusta USA is unacceptable, and I would caution anyone considering buying from the brand until they demonstrate a commitment to supporting their customers and addressing these safety issues.”

The motorcyclist, who purchased the bike with under 7,000 miles, describes how the bike suffered a “valve drop” failure, a known issue with first-generation MV Agusta 800 CC engines that the company purportedly addressed in subsequent models. Despite this, the engine failure led to complete destruction of essential engine components, resulting in a total loss of the engine. The failure mode itself, related to valve spring malfunction, poses a serious safety risk, as it can cause the engine to stall during operation – a situation that could be fatal in uncontrolled environments. Fortunately, the failure occurred in a safe setting for this rider.

“When I first contacted MV Agusta USA about the engine failure, they initially acknowledged the issue and agreed to consider a goodwill repair, given the bike’s low mileage,” the rider explains. “However, after three months of delayed responses and countless back-and-forth emails, the company stopped responding altogether, leaving me with a bike in pieces and no available parts for repair.” said George B, the owner of the motorcycle.

The engine failure, which left the bike in need of extensive repairs, has proven to be a common issue among MV Agusta motorcycles, with several other owners reporting similar incidents of “valve drop” and engine failure across both first- and second-generation models. Many affected customers have voiced their concerns in online groups, underscoring what appears to be a widespread issue that the manufacturer has yet to adequately address.

The Atlanta mechanic that inspected and attempted repairs on the damaged engine has published a blog post, with the permission of the owner of the motorcycle, with detailed images of the engine damage, explaining the severity of the valve drop failure. The post also references other sources indicating that this issue is known to MV Agusta USA, yet it remains unaddressed for customers. By sharing his professional perspective, the Atlanta mechanic aims to inform other MV Agusta owners and call attention to the product’s potentially hazardous design flaw.

The rider emphasizes that this ongoing problem with MV Agusta’s product quality and customer service should be subject to scrutiny by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to consider a recall for the affected models. “This is a serious design flaw that could put lives at risk. The lack of response from MV Agusta USA is unacceptable, and I would caution anyone considering buying from the brand until they demonstrate a commitment to supporting their customers and addressing these safety issues” ,said George B

The lack of available parts and MV Agusta USA’s limited response has now left the rider’s bike inoperable for over seven months. As an owner of multiple MV Agusta motorcycles, he states, “I love the brand, but this experience has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. It’s not only about the money but about the complete disregard for customer safety and satisfaction.”
