What this recall means for you
The front ABS brake hose can rub against the engine's secondary air system connection. Over time this can wear the hose and cause a brake fluid leak. Losing brake fluid can make it take longer to stop, which raises the risk of a crash.
The repair is free at an authorized dealer. The dealer will secure the front ABS brake hose so it no longer rubs, and any hose that has already been damaged will be replaced. Piaggio will also notify affected owners. If you have questions, you can contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433.
Check your motorcycle's VIN for open recalls, and have your brakes inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as possible if you own an affected model.
