What this recall means for you
The front brake master cylinder can malfunction, causing the front brakes to drag or apply on their own. The motorcycle may slow down or stop suddenly, and the rear brake light will not come on to warn riders behind you.
An unexpected slowdown or stop with no warning to following traffic can lead to a rear-end collision or a crash. Owners should be aware of this risk, especially in traffic or at highway speeds.
The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the front brake master cylinder and replace it if necessary. Contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433, referencing recall number PA2ZZQ1904, and check your VIN for open recalls.
