NHTSA recall 19V826000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Piaggio Group Americas, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Piaggio group americas. Inc. (piaggio) is recalling certain 2019 vespa gtv 300, gts 300, and 2020 vespa gts 300 hpe scooters. The brake lines may have been improperly galvanized, allowing hydrogen to be released into the brake fluid.
Why it matters: Hydrogen in the braking system can reduce the brake lever's ability to activate the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will install front and rear master cylinder brake flush fittings, and perform a complete brake system flush, free of charge. The recall began November 27, 2019.
