What NHTSA recorded

Piaggio Group Americas. Inc.

These motorcycles are equipped with Brembo front brake master cylinders that may fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."

Possible consequence

If the front brake master cylinder fails, the loss of front braking ability can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Aprilia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder piston, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 2018. Owners may contact Aprilia customer service at 1-212-380-4433.
