Severe engine coolant leak, overheating, and emergency stopping to prevent engine seizure. The vehicle was in motion, on a city street. Had to be walked home. Eventually towed to dealer. The dealer informed me the vespa's engine had to be removed from the frame and discovered a blown head gasket. Vespa has 3,400 miles. Has been maintained according to manual. Believe this is a safety issue as the coolant completely leaked out almost immediately. With no warning. Fortunately driving slowly at the time.
