- Side-stand switch (electrical system). Also under recall 14V065000 for 4,453 vehicles. The defect involves water entering the side-stand switch, causing potential starting failures or shutdowns during operation. The fix is a switch replacement free of charge.
- Front brake hose. Recall 19V157000 involves 2,707 scooters from 2013-2018. Repeated extreme left handlebar turns may crack the front brake hose, leading to brake fluid leaks and reduced braking. Dealers will replace the hose and add a protective sleeve at no cost.
