Piaggio Vietnam, a subsidiary of Italy’s Piaggio Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of scooters and motorbikes, on January 24 announced to recall nearly 630 imported CKD scooters in the Vietnamese market.

Recalled scooters include Piaggio Beverly 125, Vespa GTS 125 and Vespa LXV 125.

According to dantri newswire, from January 23, the company started to check and replace scooters’ rotors for free in all nation-wide customer service centres. It takes from 40 to 90 minutes for the replacement.

Those 630 scooters were manufactured from May 13, 2009 to August 31, 2010 and the reason for the recall was the problem in the scooters’ rotors could make hard to start the engine or in a risk to make the engine suddenly stop when the scooters are used for a long time and continuously in the too hot temperature condition.

Despite the fact that there was not any reported case in the Vietnamese market so far, Piaggio Vietnam decided to make the recall, the company said.
