What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the braking system does not meet federal safety standards, which aligns with the rubric criterion for a score of 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Zhejiang Xingyue Vehicle Co., Ltd. is recalling certain 2009 and 2010 model year Auto Moto XY150ZK motor scooters manufactured between March 2009 and June 2010. The recall involves 305 vehicles.

The rear brake control on these scooters is actuated by the driver's right foot rather than the left hand, which is required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 123, "Motorcycle Controls and Displays." As a result, the motorcycles do not meet the minimum requirements of the braking standard.

Owners should contact Auto Moto at 1-310-601-7220 to schedule a free replacement of the rear brake system. The safety recall began in June 2011. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for more information.
