Problem: 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.

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