- The defect
- KYMCO USA (KYMCO) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Like 150i scooters. Excessive grease applied to the ABS sensor magnetic ring may cause the deterioration of the magnetic ring, resulting in ABS failure.

- Without ABS, controlling the scooter in an emergency stopping scenario may be affected, increasing risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- KYMCO will notify owners, and dealers will clean the speed sensor sleeve and replace the magnetic ring in the speed sensor, free of charge. The recall began July 22, 2020. Owners may contact KYMCO customer service at 1-888-235-3417. KYMCO's recall number for this recall is Like150-2020-Recall.

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,786 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kymco vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic once before this, most recently in September 2015 as 15V583000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by KYMCO USA with NHTSA on June 12, 2020 as campaign 20V350000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
