NHTSA recall 17V380000

What's wrong: Piaggio group americas, Inc. (piaggio) is recalling certain 2017 moto guzzi v7 III racer 750, v7 III stone 750, v7 III special 750, and 2016-2017 v9 bobber, v9 roamer motorcycles. The front ABS brake hose may rub against the engine's secondary air system connection, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak.

Why it matters: A loss of brake fluid can lengthen the distance needed to stop the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will secure the front ABS brake hose to prevent it from rubbing. Any hose that has already been damaged, will be replaced. The repairs will be made free of charge. The recall began June 22, 2017.
