This can cause reduced braking, and an increase in travel of the brake lever and brake pedal that is required to stop the scooter. Safety Risk: Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Piaggio will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your scooter to a dealer to flush and replace the brake fluid.
