Hiya, came across these recalls. Note "death" being mentioned.

 

Being from Singapore, I am wondering how do I go about doing this; it has been a while!!!!

SK, these recalls have been covered extensively here many years ago, and periodically ever since.

 

My '00 Sport was part of the trans recall (not the con rod/bolt recall). I had a local Guzzi dealer (Moto GP) do the recall work. I brought them the box, Dave did the authorized part replacements and signed it off in a couple of hours.

 

To my knowledge, no catastrophic failures of any kind have been documented having to do with either recall -- let alone "death".

Since the recalls you noted above are for 2000 and 2000-2001 Guzzi's, and yours is a 2002, in your case, it would seem that unless you want to stretch a considerable ways past any logical reason for stuff to worry about, there's not a thing to do. . .
