What was wrong
Defect

Risk
Reduced braking efficiency can lengthen the distance needed to stop the scooter, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Piaggio will notify owners, and dealers will test the O-Ring, replace the brake fluid and bleed the brake system, or replace the brake pipes based on the vehicle's age, free of charge.
