NHTSA campaign 20V010, reported January 10, 2020, 148 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The front brake rotor may become off-center inside the front brake caliper. When this happens, the inner brake pad can come loose from the top of the caliper.

If a brake pad dislodges, the scooter may lose some or all of its braking ability, which increases the risk of a crash. The manufacturer asks owners not to ride the scooter. Have it towed to an authorized dealer instead; roadside assistance coverage and the owner's warranty cover the tow at no cost. Call Genuine Scooters customer service at 1-773-433-1311 for help.

Dealers will reposition the brake rotors with spacers to keep the brake pads from dislodging. The repair is free of charge. Check your VIN for any open recalls.
