Aprilia has issued a recall for the RSV4 and the Tuono over faulty brake pads, around 3,287 units have been affected.
The brake pads have a high amount of Nickel in them which can result in accelerated water and salt absorption which can in turn lead to the brake pads getting corroded very fast and even lead to the break pads falling off the back-plate while riding without any warning and may lead to a fatal accident, all of this was found by the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) in USA, this has also been the case for Triumph’s Tiger 1200, Street Triple RS and Speed Triple RS and they recently issued a recall for these models.
