SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
- The defect
- 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.
- What it can cause
- 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.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 27 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Piaggio vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 6 times before this, most recently in October 2020 as 20V617000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V524000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. with NHTSA on April 1, 2022 as campaign 22V217000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
