What's wrong?
The front brake disc on the 2014-2017 Piaggio Fly 150 3V scooters is the round metal rotor at the front wheel. When you squeeze the brake lever, the caliper clamps brake pads against that disc to slow the scooter. Mounting screws hold the disc flat and centered so it spins cleanly through the caliper and fork area.
On affected scooters, the brake disc mounting screws were not tightened with the proper torque during assembly. A loose screw can back out of the disc and move far enough to rub the brake caliper holding plate or the fork leg. That contact puts the front brake hardware in the wrong position and needs dealer inspection.
The warning sign is physical contact from one of the five brake disc screws as it starts to unscrew. Owners can hear or feel rubbing from the front wheel area, especially while moving or braking.

What's the safety risk?
If a brake disc mounting screw loosens and reaches the caliper holding plate or fork leg, the front wheel can suddenly lock up, increasing crash risk. Schedule the repair soon and ride cautiously until a dealer checks the front brake disc screws. Repair is free at any franchised Piaggio dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2017 Piaggio Fly 150 3V is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Piaggio dealer to schedule the free front-brake-disc screw repair that tightens the loose mounting screws and applies thread-locking adhesive.
- Bring the recall notice if Piaggio mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V468 when you call.
- Ride cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop riding if the front brake feels abnormal or the front wheel does not roll freely.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Piaggio technician applies thread locking adhesive to the front brake disc mounting screws and tightens them so the screws stay secured around the brake disc and caliper area. The recall repair is free, and Piaggio has already notified owners for this campaign. If your scooter is included, schedule the dealer visit and ask the service desk to confirm the brake disc fasteners are covered before the work begins.
