What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2020-2021 MP3 500 HPE scooters. The brake hose terminal fittings zinc plating may contaminate the brake fluid, decreasing brake performance.

The risk

Brakes that do not perform as expected, and require the driver to apply more force to the brake levers or pedals, increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will perform a complete brake system flush, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 18, 2022. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4400.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
