Brembo Master cylinder recall

Basically a load of OEM supplied Brembo master cylinder have been found to have plastic pistons. If the master cylinder takes a whack, or after hard use the plastic piston can crack and compromise the braking.

It's the radial master cylinder they like to use with the M50 calipers, so a load of high end bikes use this M/C. So far just Aprilia and Ducati.

I guess KTM and MV Agusta are to follow?

No word on the EU market yet? I guess something will come out next week when everyone's back at work.

Happened on my '16 - had the recall and still felt crap but never went back to the lever

You need to be really hard on the brakes. I managed it once only at Cadwell but never road

Has the EU already had this recall and I missed the memo?

Nope I never got one. See it on net, went on piaggio site and confirmed it, called bike shop who also then confirmed it and got it booked in

Check your doormat. Letters to UK owners sent - direct from Italy.

Interesting. Letter says take bike to your local dealer for replacement?
