Problem Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2019-2020 MP3 500 motorcycles. The brake lines may have been improperly galvanized, allowing hydrogen to be released into the brake fluid. Risk Hydrogen in the braking system can reduce the brake lever's ability to activate the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will perform a complete brake system flush, free of charge. The recall began September 10, 2020. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PP2ZZQ1904_MP3.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. PP2ZZQ1904_MP3 is the number Piaggio assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V524000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
