Plain-English summary

Genuine Scooters, LLC is recalling certain 2020 Royal Alloy GT150 scooters. The recall involves 148 units where the front brake rotor may become uncentered within the front brake caliper. This defect allows the inner brake pad to dislodge from the top of the brake caliper.

If the brake pad becomes dislodged, the scooter can experience a reduced or complete loss of braking, which increases the risk of a crash. Genuine Scooters requests that owners not drive their scooters and instead have them towed to a dealer for repairs. Roadside assistance coverage has been provided so the tow will be free of charge.

Dealers will reposition the brake rotors with spacers to prevent the brake pads from dislodging, free of charge. The recall began in January 2019. Owners may contact Genuine Scooters customer service at 1-773-433-1311 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
