Piaggio Liberty 125 I-get Abs: Frame May Crack / Fail
Piaggio is recalling 148 Liberty 125 i-get ABS scooters distributed in the United Kingdom because the frame may crack or deform near the seat, potentially causing the handlebars to move closer to the rider and the seat to lower. If the frame fails, control of the scooter could be lost. Affected scooters will be inspected, and cracked frames will be replaced or reinforced with a kit as needed.

- Vehicles: PIAGGIO LIBERTY 125 i-get ABS. Units affected: 148
- Reason
- Frame may break/deform near the bottom of the down tube under the front of the seat. This will lead to the handle bars getting closer to the driver and the body lowering towards the ground.

If the frame is not cracked a reinforcement kit will be fitted.
