What's wrong?
The air filter frame on the 2010 Mv Agusta F4 is the rigid holder that keeps the air filter seated in the intake path. The filter's job is to clean incoming air before it reaches the engine, and the frame's job is to keep that filter sealed so all intake air passes through it.
On affected F4 motorcycles, the air filter frame can lift out of position. When that happens, intake air no longer has to pass through the filter. Dirt or debris can bypass the filter and enter the intake stream, which is the problem this recall addresses.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would not have a clear dashboard light, sound, or handling change that confirms the frame has moved, so the issue depends on inspection and the recall repair path.

What's the safety risk?
Debris entering the throttle body assembly can interfere with proper throttle operation and increase the risk of a crash. If throttle response feels abnormal, stop riding and call a dealer before moving the motorcycle again. Repair will be free at any franchised Mv Agusta dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Mv Agusta F4 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Mv Agusta dealer to ask whether the free air-filter-frame repair is open for your motorcycle.
- Reference recall number 10V280 when you call, and bring the owner notice if you still have it.
- Avoid riding until the dealer checks the air filter frame, because a displaced frame lets debris reach the throttle body and interfere with throttle operation.
What happens at the repair
The filing says Mv Agusta began the safety recall on June 28, 2010 and dealers repair the motorcycle free of charge. At the dealer, a Mv Agusta technician checks the air filter frame on the F4 and repairs the assembly so intake air passes through the filter instead of bypassing it. The source does not list a separate repair time, so ask the service desk how long the visit is expected to take when you schedule.
