What this recall means for you
Certain Aprilia RSV4 and Tuono motorcycles from model years 2017 and 2018 may have front brake pads that corrode. Over time, the friction material on the pads can detach from the metal backing plate.
If the friction material separates, the motorcycle may take longer to stop, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should not wait to have this checked.
The remedy is free: an authorized Aprilia dealer will replace the front brake pads at no cost, and Piaggio will notify affected owners. To confirm whether your motorcycle is included, check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA's website, or call Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433 and reference recall number PA2ZZQ2001.
