Defect
Piaggio Group Americas. Inc. (Piaggio) is recalling certain 2019 Vespa GTV 300, GTS 300, and 2020 Vespa GTS 300 HPE scooters. The brake lines may have been improperly galvanized, allowing hydrogen to be released into the brake fluid.
Consequence
Hydrogen in the braking system can reduce the brake lever's ability to activate the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will install front and rear master cylinder brake flush fittings, and perform a complete brake system flush, free of charge. The recall began November 27, 2019. Owners may contact Piaggio customer service at 1-212-380-4433. Piaggio's number for this recall is PP2ZZQ1904_GTS.

What owners report
Verbatim reports filed with NHTSA, lightly edited for readability and with personal
information removed.
“The anti-lock brake module has been failing on hundreds of 2020 gts300s. When it fails, the brake lever is locked or hard to pull, leading to the inability to brake. Vespa not only does not acknowledge this, the part is $1400 plus labor to repair.”
