What's wrong?
The rear indicators on the 2026 Aprilia Tuono 1100 E5+, Tuono 1100 E5+ F, RSV4 1100 E5+ Factory, and RSV4 1100 E5+ are LED lighting units at the back of the motorcycle. They signal a turn and help keep the motorcycle visible from behind through the tail or running light function.
On affected motorcycles, two unused wires inside the left or right rear indicator were left loose instead of being soldered to the LED circuit board during manufacturing. Those loose wires can interfere with the circuit. When that happens, the rear turn signal or running light can flicker or stop working, so other road users get less clear information about the motorcycle's movement or position.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner is likely to notice is the rear turn signal or tail light flickering, working intermittently, or going out.

What's the safety risk?
Turn signals and tail lights that flicker or fail to illuminate reduce the motorcycle's visibility and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure. If any rear light flickers or goes dark, schedule the repair soon and limit riding after dark until it is fixed. Repair is free at any franchised Aprilia dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2026 Aprilia Tuono 1100 E5+, Tuono 1100 E5+ F, RSV4 1100 E5+ Factory, or RSV4 1100 E5+ motorcycle is included.
- Contact a franchised Aprilia dealer to schedule the free rear-turn-signal replacement that fixes flickering or failed rear lighting.
- Bring the owner letter if Aprilia mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V591 when you call.
- Avoid riding the motorcycle if the turn signals or tail lights flicker or stop working until the dealer repair is complete.
