Aprilia Caponard: Brakes May Not Perform As Expected
Recall Summary Aprilia is recalling 3,036 Caponard, Dorsoduro, and Tuono motorcycles because air is entering the brake master cylinder through a faulty push rod and boot, causing the brake lever to gradually require more movement and reducing braking effectiveness. The manufacturer will replace the brake master cylinder push rod and boot on affected vehicles. This recall applies to motorcycles distributed in the United Kingdom.
