I picked my scooter up from the dealers after having the "correct" nut fitted, the mechanic told me that the there is actually nothing wrong with "incorrect" nut and it is exactly the same as the "slotted or black" nut.
He went on to say that allegedly the problem was just that the nuts were not torqued into place properly at the factory. Your mileage may vary. PS: On my bike the nut cannot be seen through the oil level hole with oil in the bike. Edit: I took my bike off the trailer leaned it over to the left to let any oil drain away, and yes you can see the nut through the oil level hole. It's toward the upper left.

Took my bike in to dealer 4 weeks ago tomorrow. Still no word on when I'll be getting it back. If you can get the nut yaself I would do that.

I bought a new EC 300/19 last week and asked my dealer if the nut needs to be checked but he said no.
He said its a later 2019 model and it is not affected. How can he know? Do they have a list with VIN numbers. I doubt he tells the truth... |

If you read the pdf attached to the first post, you will find the list of VIN numbers

So what you are saying is I can see the nut through the oil level sight glass if the oil is drained ??? You mean I can see it and identify if it is the correct one ??? Pls let me know asap. edit: is it a normal nut or a left hand threaded one (tightening counter clock wise) ? |

As I said above, the dealer told me that there nothing wrong with the "wrong" nut, it's just that it may not have been tightened to spec when assembled. |

I believe it was excessive clearance on threads making them not tighten correctly/loosen easily also.

I never had both nuts in my hand at once(well you know what I mean) so I cannot confirm, but I have known this guy for many years and I am confident that he not mistaken. If someone has both I'd love to hear their opinion. |
