Plain-English summary

The recall involves scooters with manufacturing date codes between September 10, 2016, and October 11, 2016. The date code is printed on a label located under the platform in the format XX(month)/XX(day)/2016 - 066QY. The scooters are blue and feature two wheels in the front and one in the rear.
