Defect description

Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Vespa GTS 300 and GTV 300 scooters. Improperly galvanized brake pipe terminals can result in excessive front and/or rear brake levers travel during braking.

Safety risk

Reduced braking efficiency can lengthen the distance needed to stop the scooter, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

The recall began October 21, 2020. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PP2ZZQ2003_GTS/GTV.
