2020–2021 Piaggio MP3 500 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
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 fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
