19V826000

Date: 2019-11-18. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC.

Defect: 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.

Consequence: Hydrogen in the braking system can reduce the brake lever's ability to activate the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: 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. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PP2ZZQ1904_GTS.

Do not drive: No. Park outside: No.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
