Piaggio Groups Americas is five Moto Guzzi models for issues relating to the brake hoses on their anti-locking brake systems.

According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue stems from the brake lines rubbing against the engine’s secondary air system connect, which can result in a brake fluid leak.

The recall affects 1,139 units total of the 2016-2017 model year Moto Guzzi V7 III Racer 750, Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone 750, Moto Guzzi V7 III Special 750, Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, and Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer motorcycles.

Piaggio will notify affected owners, and Moto Guzzi dealers will secure the front ABS brake hose to prevent it from rubbing against the air system.

Any brake hose line that has already been damaged, will be replaced, all of these repairs will be made free of charge.

This recall is expected to begin some time in June 2017. In the meanwhile, concerned Moto Guzzi owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433.
