Genuine Scooter recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
Do not drive. NHTSA and the maker advise owners not to drive these vehicles until they are repaired.
What is wrong
Genuine Scooters, LLC. (Genuine Scooters) is recalling certain 2020 Royal Alloy GT150 scooters. The front brake rotor may become uncentered within the front brake caliper allowing the inner brake pad to dislodge from the top of the brake caliper.
What could happen
If the brake pad becomes dislodged, the scooter can experience a reduced or complete loss of braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Genuine Scooters will notify owners, and dealers will reposition the brake rotors with spacers to prevent the brake pads from dislodging, free of charge. The recall began January 2019. Note: Genuine Scooters requests owners to not drive their scooters. Please have the scooter towed to a dealer for repairs. Roadside assistance coverage has been provided along with owner's warranty so the tow will be free of charge. Owners may contact Genuine Scooters customer service at 1-773-433-1311.
