More than 1,200 Piaggio Zip motorcycles assembled in Vietnam were discovered to have faulty fuel-level sensors that need immediate repair services.

In its latest press release, Piaggio Vietnam confirmed that the Vietnam Register approved the recalling of 1,201 Piaggio Zips assembly between June 10, 2015 and October 12, 2015.

The error was discovered during the periodical checks, registering that some fuel-level sensors of Piaggio Zip units failed to meet the company's technical standards. This may cause fuel leakages and fire risk later on if left unattended.

So far there have been no incidents due to the aforementioned problem, but Piaggio decided to recall all vehicles suspected of fault and replace the sensors free of charge. The time schedule for the check and replacement is 30 minutes.

The recall and replacement campaign started on March 4, 2016.

In 2015, about 630 motorcycles assembled by Piaggio were recalled due to a malfunction of electric rotors.
