Aprilia Motorcycle Recalls

Since 2004, Aprilia has only issued 10 recalls which is relatively low. Its largest recall so far does not involve its own product but from another producer that supplies to other motorcycle manufacturers. In May 2020, Piaggio was expected to begin recalling certain Aprilia motorcycles: 2017-2018 Aprilia RSV4 1000 RF, 2017-2020 Aprilia RSV4 1000 RR and Aprilia Tuono 1100 RF and RR motorcycles. The recall which affected 3,287 units involved potential problems with the front brake built by Brembo. The front brake pads may corrode, potentially causing the front brake pad friction material to detach from the backing plate. This may cause the motorcycle to have increased stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

Piaggio (Aprilia) will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake pads, free of charge.
