How this archive is organized
NHTSA files recalls as numbered campaigns — 24V-123 is the 123rd vehicle campaign filed in 2024 — but each campaign lists the model years it affects, often several at once. This archive is organized by model year, because that is how you shop for a used vehicle: pick the year, see every Vespa model with a campaign on file, then open the campaign records themselves. Recalls also arrive years after a vehicle is built — a 2019 model can carry a campaign filed in 2023 or later — so newly announced campaigns appear under model years long past, and a year that is clean today is not guaranteed to stay that way.
Checking one specific Vespa?
Recall campaigns are filed at the year/model level; whether a particular vehicle still needs the work depends on its VIN and repair history. The fastest check: run the VIN through the Vespa recall lookup — it returns every open campaign for that vehicle's year and model, free. The repair itself is free at a franchised Vespa dealer: federal law requires a no-charge remedy whenever the vehicle was 15 years old or newer when the defect was determined, and vehicle-recall remedies don't expire.
