What’s the problem?
Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2020-2021 MP3 500 HPE scooters. The brake hose terminal fittings zinc plating may contaminate the brake fluid, decreasing brake performance.
What could happen?
Brakes that do not perform as expected, and require the driver to apply more force to the brake levers or pedals, increase the risk of a crash.
What’s the fix?
Dealers will perform a complete brake system flush, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 18, 2022. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4400.
