Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The muffler on my gt200 has a exhaust problem where the exhaust is eating though the collar. this has caused numerous injuries and in many instances because the next closest part to the collent collar is the brake cable. the rider is left with no breaks. while vespa usa is preparing a recall for the gs 250 the identical muffler and collar is on the gt200. yet vespa refuses to take responsibility for this systemic design failure. *tr
