The motorcycles have a front brake master cylinder that may allow air into the hydraulic circuit, causing a longer than expected braking distance.
If an abnormal distance is required to stop the motorcycle, there is an increased risk of a crash.
What to do
Aprilia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder pushrod and boot assembly, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in October 2016.
Owners may contact Aprilia customer service at 1-866-705-1727.
