Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. "Piaggio" is recalling certain 2016-2017 Aprilia RSV4 1000 motorcycles "including RR, Factory Superpole, and RF Superpole", and 2017 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 motorcycles "including RR and Factory Superpole". These motorcycles are equipped with Brembo front brake master cylinders that may fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems."
If the front brake master cylinder fails, the loss of front braking ability can increase the risk of a crash.
Aprilia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder piston, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 2018. Owners may contact Aprilia customer service at 1-212-380-4433.
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.safercar.gov.
