21 recalls across 16 models
Vespa has 16 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 2008 through 2026. Across those models, 21 recall campaigns are recorded, and the severity profile is heavily concentrated at the top end of the severity rating system: 76% of recalls carry a Critical rating and another 10% fall into the High tier, leaving just 3 recalls in the Low tier and none in the Medium or Informational categories. Critical recalls in this system indicate consequences such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or serious injury potential, while High recalls cover significant but slightly less acute hazards. That distribution means roughly 86% of all recall activity across the lineup sits in the two uppermost tiers.
The GTV 300 and the GTS 300 each account for 3 recalls, making them the most-recalled models in the database, followed by the 946 with 2 recalls. Given that most of the 21 campaigns are assigned Critical or High severity, the defects recorded across these scooters span a narrow range of years but represent consistently elevated consequence levels. The lineup's recall record is concentrated rather than sprawling, with 16 models generating a relatively small total count of campaigns, though the proportion rated Critical is among the more pronounced patterns visible when looking at the severity breakdown as a whole.
