What's wrong?
The footrest assembly on the 2020 Moto Guzzi V85 Tt gives the rider a fixed place to support a boot and stabilize body position. A mounting pin holds the footrest in place, and a small retaining clip locks that pin so the footrest stays attached while the motorcycle is ridden.
On affected motorcycles, the retaining clip can be damaged or positioned incorrectly during assembly. Once deformed, the clip can break. If it breaks, the mounting pin can slide out, and the footrest can loosen or fall off the motorcycle. Moto Guzzi changed the replacement retaining ring to a shape that is easier to install without deforming it.
Before the footrest comes off, the rider can notice that the footrest feels unstable under a boot. Loosened parts can also make noise near the footrest.

What's the safety risk?
A footrest that separates while the motorcycle is moving can land in the roadway and increase the risk of a crash. If a footrest feels unstable or you hear noise from loosened parts, stop riding and arrange service. Repair is free at any franchised Moto Guzzi dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 Moto Guzzi V85 Tt is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Moto Guzzi dealer to schedule the free footrest retaining-ring inspection and clip replacement that keeps the footrest pins secured.
- Bring the recall notice if Moto Guzzi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V858 when you call.
- Avoid riding the motorcycle if a footrest feels loose or a retaining pin is missing; ask the dealer how to move it for service.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Moto Guzzi technician inspects the retaining rings on all 4 footrests. If any clip is defective, the dealer replaces the retaining clips on all 4 footrest pins. The recall repair is available, and the inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free of charge. This work addresses the footrest retaining clip problem that lets a mounting pin disconnect and the footrest fall off the motorcycle.
