What do they want from me?

I can't understand, it says task 1 doesn't pass anymore

GoKart.java 
class GoKart {
  private String color = "red";

  public GoKart(String color) {
    private this.color = color;
  }

  public String getColor() {
    return color;
  }

}

this.color refers to the private color field declared (and initialized with a default "red" value) on the second line. You shouldn't add a private modifier again to this.color later in the constructor, since it is an already declared variable; acces modifiers and type are defined at declaration time.
