Piaggio Rsv4 Euro 3: Reduced Brake Efficiency
Piaggio is recalling 1,950 motorcycles (RSV4 Euro 3 and 4, and Tuono 1100 Euro 4 models) sold in the United Kingdom because the front brake master cylinder piston may fail under certain conditions, which could increase braking distance. The manufacturer will replace the piston and seals to fix the issue.
