Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Piaggio Group Americas, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Piaggio group americas, Inc. (piaggio) is recalling certain 2019-2020 mp3 500 motorcycles. 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 perform a complete brake system flush, free of charge. The recall began September 10, 2020.
